He also said that the present government is working for the practice and research of Islamic education and pursuit of new knowledge so that man can know the real characteristics of Islamic education.
The education minister said this while addressing a discussion and training programme on development and quality enhancement of the curriculum of Fazil and Kamil levels at Islamic Arabic University in Hathazari upazila of the district on Saturday .

Referring to propaganda against Awami League on Madrasa education, Nahid said the previous governments received the votes of the Islamic minded people in the name of Islam but did nothing for them in return.” Awami League government has so far established 1130 new Madrasa buildings and processed for more 1800 Madrasas buildings”, the minister said adding that the government has equalised the salary between the Madrsa teachers and the college teachers and launched Honours courses in 31 Madrasas.
