From 19 to 23 June 2022, CPI held a methodological workshop in Bamako to prepare participants to implement, from a technical standpoint, the integration of Qur’anic schools (QS) into the national education system. The workshop’s specific objectives included: informing the members of the Consultation Framework of CPI’s experience with Qur’anic school teachers (QSTs) in seven regions of the country (buy-in to the process, challenges, recommendations…) and sharing it with them; equipping religious, state and civil-society actors for conflict transformation and peace promotion in education; identifying the key success factors of such a process through case studies from outside Mali; and opening a space for dialogue between the Ministry of National Education (MNE) and Qur’anic school teachers, by sharing the MNE’s ongoing actions and the expectations and needs of the teachers.
