What is QTRS?
Quran Teachers Recognition Scheme (QTRS) is an effort initiated by the Asatizah Recognition Board (ARB) to recognise those who are qualified to teach Quranic lessons in Singapore. Recognition of Quran teachers will ensure that the community receives quality and correct Quranic knowledge. This recognition also hopes to encourage those who teach the Quran to continue upgrading the quality of their teaching based on their qualifications and experiences.
Quran Teachers Selection Committee
A committee called the Quran Teachers Selection Committee (QTSC) will provide overall directions, approve all nominations or applications, and oversee the professional conduct of all approved Quran teachers in the performance of their teachings to the community. The QTSC will be supported by Darul Quran Singapore (DQS), who will act as secretariat to the committee.
The QTSC is currently chaired by Ustaz Mohamed Qusairy Bin Thaha, Team Leader for Quran Education of Darul Quran Singapore, Masjid Kampung Siglap.
The QTSC will be guided by the ARB.
