Building a Future for Our Madrasah

Over the decades, our madrasah have played a pivotal role in producing a continuous stream of religious graduates who are instrumental in providing religious guidance and instilling values in the community relevant to the context of Singapore’s plural and modern society.

With a future characterised by greater complexity and diversity, the role of our asatizah and madrasah will become even more important in guiding the community to deal with various emerging issues which impact our socio-religious life.

Let’s continue to support our madrasah to sustain and grow as they progress towards the future

Madrasah Admin & Operations

“True to the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, it takes a whole community to contribute to the success of our Madrasah. It has been a unique year of outstanding sacrifices by the Madrasahs, teachers, asatizah, parents and students to adapt to a new norm because of COVID-19. The adjustments show the commitment and desire of everyone to continue teaching and learning regardless of our circumstances.

As the Madrasahs adjust to their new norms and pedagogies of teaching with HBL (home based learning) and safe management measures, teachers and asatizah need to be trained to constantly keep up to deliver quality education. Madrasahs also had to step up their operations by frequently sanitizing the premises, which adds up to their costs to ensure students can remain in school.

We need your continued support, help and doa, so that Madrasahs can continue their noble work to produce generations of resilient and well-educated asatizah to come in Singapore.”

Mufti, Republic of Singapore

Sources of Funding

Our Madrasahs are private schools and rely heavily on the support of the community. Madrasahs are currently supported through funding from various sources such as school fees and grants from various sources such as the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF), Baitulmal, Zakat, Dana Madrasah, Wakaf Ilmu and government funding (Edusave and Teacher Development & Trainings for secular subjects) . These funds are used primarily to support madrasahs’ expenditure on manpower and teachers’ professional development. They also rely on the community’s contribution through fundraising to support their expenditure on school programmes as well as their daily operations.
