Some 1,010 Qawmi Alems will join government jobs from Monday to work as teachers under the mosque-based education for children under the supervision of the Islamic Foundation.
This is the first group since the madrasa system was officially recognised by Bangladesh.
Islamic Foundation issued a statement on Sunday that said this is the first time so many Qawmi Alems will be joining government jobs at the same time.
The official induction will be held at 10am on Monday, the statement said.
Religious Affairs Minister Motiur Rahman will inaugurate the programme at the Baitul Mukarram Mosque Auditorium.
According to bdnews24.com, the teachers will undergo three days of training as part of an orientation programme.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced in 2017 that the highest certificate offered by Qawmi madrasas would be recognised as equal to a general education postgraduate degree.
