Mosque-based Non-formal Education

Untitled Document
 
 

The socio-economic reality of the country sometimes compels some of the guardians of rural areas not to send their wards to school. Considering the need for a future educated vanguard and to support the MDG efforts of the government, Masjid Council initiated a project for youngsters of 6-10 years who either could not attend school or were dropped out at early stages. The learners are provided with formal education texts such as Bengali, English and Math. In order to promote the morality of the learners they are also given some religious teachings. The duration of the course is three years.

The Imams act as the teachers of the centers and local mosques are used as learning centers. Upon completion of this three-year course, the learners join standard III of mainstream education system. The project currently operates 3 centers having involved 125 learners. Gender parity in enrollment is strictly maintained. Earlier a total of about 4,000 boys and girls have been graduated and nine-tenths of them were able to join formal education either in school and madrasah.
