Day after the NASIMCO Conference last month, a roundtable discussion was held with participation from Madaris all over North America.
The objectives of the roundtable were:
1. To provide an opportunity for dialogue between NASIMCO and Islamic Schools
2. To communicate ideas among the various Islamic Schools
3. To identify ways in which NASIMCO can assist with the advancement of our institutions
The discussions were moderated by Br Mujtaba Datoo who engaged various Madrasah representatives on each of the objectives. He teased out best practices, areas of betterment and ideas for improvement. Each represented Madrasah was given a voice as well as a chance to learn. The roundtable came to a conclusion with Br Naushad Mehrali, Head of MCE, elaborating on the Madrasah Center of Excellence workstreams and the way in which they tackle many of the issues raised during the discussion.
Overall, the Madrasah Roundtable was well-received and achieved its aims and goals. NASIMCO wishies to thank all participants and especially the IJA Miami Madrasah for hosting the session.
