Background

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.{{cite news |title=Qawmi Madrasa Dawrae Hadith gets recognition |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/country/qawmi-madrasa-dawrae-hadith-gets-recognition-1389823 |work=The Daily Star |agency=Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha |date=11 April 2017}} 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.{{cite news |title=Govt publishes gazette on highest Qawmi madrasa degree recognition |url=https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2017/04/13/govt-publishes-gazette-on-highest-qawmi-madrasa-degree-recognition |work=bdnews24.com |date=13 April 2017}}
