Undoubtedly, teachers play an important role in the lives of students. At the Husayni Madrasah, we have close to 150 staff members that include administrators, teachers, assistant teachers and volunteers. It is these individuals who have dedicated their time and efforts to the education of around 1500 students.

In addition to our consistent appreciation for the teachers, the Madrasah continues to hold seminars, workshops and training sessions for the teachers. During the month of March, a training session for Girls’ Madrasah Teachers was held on the 14^th and the Boys’ Madrasah Teachers had a session on 12^th April.

Both these sessions were conducted by Br. Mazaher A. Tejani, who shall continue facilitating such sessions for the remainder of the 1^st Term.

The main aim of the session was to expose the teacher to the impact he/she can make in the lives of students, both in the classroom and beyond. The discussion emphasized the fact that every individual involved with the Madrasah remains a ROLE MODEL whom the students continuously observe, look up to and imitate.

Further discussions were held on the necessity of the teacher to be available, and approachable, again within the classroom environment, as well beyond, especially in venues such as the Mosque, Imambarghas, etc.

Teachers were also enlightened on the area of students with special needs, not only restricted to physical and learning disabilities, but also considering the socio-economic and familial background of the student.

The session concluded with the opportunity for teachers to share their experiences and bring forth any questions and concerns they had.
