PM pledged to recognise Dawra degree: Minister
The recognition of Dawra degree of Qawmi madrasa as equivalent to master's degree was a commitment of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said today.
“Several years back, our prime minister had formed a committee including Hefajat-e-Islam chief Shah Ahmed Shafi and Maulana Farid Uddin Masuod (a key person on the Qawmi education system) to work out on the issue,” the minister said.
This issue had no relation with Hefajat, the minister said.
The government took the decision based on the recommendations submitted by the committee, Kamal told journalist after inaugurating a fashion outlet at Bedeypalli in Savar in the morning.
“The decision was finalised following a discussion with the members of all other educational boards… It was a long-time demand of the alem-ulem,” he added.
Earlier on April 11, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina officially announced that the government would recognise Dawra degree of Qawmi madrasa as equivalent to master's degree.
