Al-Hayʼat al-ʿUlyā lil-Jāmiʿāt al-Qawmiyyah Bangladesh (Arabic: الهيئة العليا للجامعات القومية ﺑﻨﻐﻼدﻳش, romanized: Supreme Authority to Qawmi Universities of Bangladesh) is the government-recognized combined Qawmi Madrasah Education Board of Bangladesh, having the authority to arrange central examinations and to issue certificates.[1][2] It consists of six Qawmi Madrasah Education Boards: Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, Befaqul Madarisil Qawmia Gauhordanga Bangladesh, Anjumane Ittehadul Madaris Bangladesh, Azad Deeni Edaraye Talim Bangladesh, Tanjeemul Madarisid Diniya Bangladesh, and Jatiya Deeni Madrasa Shikkha Board Bangladesh.

Background

[edit]

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced on 11 April 2017 that, on the basis of the principles of the Darul Uloom Deoband, a Dawra-e-Hadith certificate issued by a Qawmi Madrasah would be treated as equivalent to a master's degree in Islamic studies and Arabic.[3] Two days later the Ministry of Education published a gazette elaborating on the decision. It gave a committee formed by the Qawmi Madrasah boards the authority to supervise the Dawrah-e-Hadith examinations.[4]

On 19 September 2018, parliament passed a bill putting the decision into law, retrospective to April 2017. It recognized Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh as a board that integrates the six existing Qawmi Madrasa education boards:[5] Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, Befaqul Madarisil Qawmia Gauhordanga Bangladesh, Anjumane Ittehadul Madaris Bangladesh, Azad Deeni Edaraye Talim Bangladesh, Tanjeemul Madarisid Diniya Bangladesh and Jatiya Deeni Madrasa Shikkha Board Bangladesh.[6] The chairman of Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh will be the ex officio chairman of the combined board.[5]

Objectives and functions

[edit]

The Haiatul Ulya was founded to ensure a standardized curriculum and to provide centralized examinations for all of the institutions under six Qawmi Madrasa Education Board, and hence to be able to get government recognition.[7] The main functions of the federation are: creation of syllabus, checking standard of education, arrangement of examination and issuance of degrees.[1][2][8]
