The broad objective of the project is to select two (02) qawmi madrasas from each of the eight (08) divisions, nominate twelve (12) teachers from each of the selected qawmi madrasas and train them on six (06) basic subjects (namely Bangla, English, Basic Science and ICT, Mathematics, Social Science and Bangladesh Studies), so that they can take charge when the equivalent curriculum for qawmi madrasa is initiated. The specific objectives are as follows:

• At the beginig of the project two (02) largest (in terms of number of students) will be selected from each of the eight (08) administrative divisions (i.e. a total of 16 qawmi madrasa) within one (01) week of the initiation of the project.
• After the selction of the sixteen (16) madrasas, twelve teachers from each madrasa will be nominated within one (01) month of the initiation of the project. These teachers will be nominated based on their previous educational qualifications, merit and area of interest. A total of one hundred and ninety two (192) teachers will be selected.
• The training modules will be developed by the authority of the Government Teachers’ Traaining College. The training modules will be designed keeping alignment with the existing mainstream education system so that when the equivalent curriculum is implemented for qawmin madrasa, the contents of these training modules will help them cope with the curriculum. The module design phase will be initiated with the kick-off nof the project and will span over two (02) months.
• Two (02) teachers from each madrasa will be nominated for one of the six (06) basic subjects mentioned above, i.e. a total of thirty two (32) teachers will be nominated for each basic subject. Each of the thirty two (32) teachers’ group will be trained for six (06) months. This training course will be initiated after the second month of the initiation of the project.
• After the training, these teachers will go back to their corresponding madrasas and disseminate the training modules to the other teachers of their madrasas for six (06) months. After this six (06) months all the teachers of these sixteen (16) madrasas will go through an evaluation conducted by the authority of the Government Teachers’ Training college. This evaluation report will be used to analyse the effectiveness of this method for preparing the existing teachers group for the equivalent new curriculum and if proven effective, this method can be used as a shifting mechanism for qawmi madrasas to the new curriculum. The final evaluation of the teachers will be completed in one (01) month.
