5 Ways to deliver effective Maktab education
Identifying and Assessing Needs

Recruitment and Teacher Development
A stringent recruitment process for teachers and educators is employed. These staff are supported with professional development through regular training sessions.
Quality Control and Monitoring
Classroom sessions are regularly monitored by an experienced monitoring team. This is to ensure the consistent development of teachers and their practices. Children who pass each curriculum stage are also tested by external examiners to ensure a high educational standard.
Providing Resources and Materials
Provide essential resources and materials to bolster learning. These include textbooks, stationery, and other aids aimed at enriching the learning journey for children in the Maktab.
A Comprehensive and Structured Islamic Curriculum
A full-time team is dedicated to preparing and curating learning material for all students from the ages of 6 (Primary) to 18+ (Higher Education). Textbooks, notepads and activity booklets are all meticulously prepared, designed and gifted to students and teachers. The topics covered include: Qur’an Iman, Fiqh, Adhkar, and Akhlaq.
