Madrasah during COVID-19

COVID-19 has disrupted the normal operations of our madrasahs. They had to quickly adapt to the new safe measures. More resources were needed to conduct intensive school sanitisation, home based learning (HBL), curriculum enhancement and teacher development.

Our madrasahs were unable to conduct their annual fundraising projects since the Circuit Breaker in March 2020 which has led to a potential collective income loss of about $2.5 million. While there are sources of funds to cover manpower costs, our madrasahs depend heavily on the community’s contribution to fund the madrasahs’ annual operations.

During this difficult period, your contributions are needed more than ever to support the madrasahs in their mission to develop our future asatizah.

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.”

Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir
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.
