The Directorate of Madrasha Education was established on 1 July 2015.[2]
The Directorate of Madrasha Education requested the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education to remove teachers involved in the murder of Nusrat Jahan Rafi from the monthly pay order.[3]
In March 2020, Ebtedayee madrasa teachers demanded the Directorate of Madrasha Education nationalise their jobs.[4] Shafiuddin Ahmed, Director General of the Directorate of Madrasha Education, assured them their demands would be taken into consideration.[4] The directorate failed to provide information on how many educational institutions under it had established the mandated sexual harassment prevention committees.[5]
The directorate launched a clean up operation in August 2023 targeting corruption in madrasas.[6] In December 2024, the Directorate of Madrasha Education developed a transfer policy for madrasa teachers similar to existing ones for school and college teachers.[7]
