The
fourth phase of the Ahlehadith Andolan Bangladesh's program for revitalization
focuses on three main areas to advance religious education and societal
development. The first is education reform, where a significant step was taken
in 1998 under the central education department of the Ahlehadith Andolan
Bangladesh. The Ahlehadith Madrasa Education Board was established, and
policies were formulated in this regard. On November 24 of the same year, the
first meeting of the board was held in Darul Imarat, Nawdapara, Rajshahi, where
several madrasas in the country participated. However, after the imprisonment
of Professor Dr. Muhammad Asadullah Al-Ghalib in a fabricated conspiracy case,
the board's activities were temporarily suspended.
In
2017, the Bangladesh government made efforts to recognize Kawmi madrasas and
granted recognition to the Befaqul Madaris, a conglomerate of six Qawmi boards,
including the Dawra-e-Hadith. Recognizing the need for central regulation and
support for Ahlehadeeth Madrasas in the country, there arose a widespread
demand for the formation of an education board. In response, Professor Dr.
Muhammad Asadullah Al-Ghalib took the initiative to reinvigorate the board's
operations and appointed responsible individuals, providing them with necessary
guidance. As a result, on January 10, 2019, the board resumed its activities
under the new name "Hadeeth Foundation Education Board," quickly
gaining recognition across the country.
Under
the board's supervision, a dedicated curriculum, syllabus, and annual academic
plan have been published. Textbooks are regularly published from kindergarten
to the fifth grade in accordance with the plan. Additionally, educational
materials such as class diaries and Hifz diaries are also made available for
the convenience of students. The board has launched its own website, and both
central and regional teacher training programs are ongoing. Furthermore, the
board has established the "Teacher Training Institute" to facilitate
the recruitment of qualified teachers in various institutions.
