The Hon. (Dr.) M.L.A.M. Hizbullah
Hon. (Dr.) M.L.A.M. Hizbullah asked the Minister of Buddhasasana, Religious and Cultural Affairs whether the Government is aware of the absence of formal training centres for teachers in registered Arabic schools and for Imams and Muadhdhins serving in mosques. He sought clarification on whether steps will be taken to establish such a centre to provide proper training for these roles, and, if not, the reasons for inaction.
