division
The division faces the challenge of balancing the expansion and MPO-inclusion demands of private madrasas with the need for quality control, infrastructure modernization, and effective development fund utilization.
TMED held a coordination meeting to implement a nationwide tree plantation program targeting 43 lakh trees annually.
TMED was carved out of the Ministry of Education on 30 November 2016 as one of two statutory divisions (the other being SHED). It oversees five subordinate bodies: BTEB (technical board), DTE (directorate), BMEB (madrasa board), DME (madrasa directorate), and NSDA (skills authority). Secretary Muhammad Rafiqul Islam was transferred from the PPP Authority and appointed in August 2025, replacing KM Kabirul Islam. The FY2025-26 budget figure (Tk 12,678 crore = BDT 126,780,000,000) is sourced from the Finance Division budget documents and cross-confirmed by Dhaka Tribune and BSS. head_since date is approximate (August 2025); exact notification date not publicly available in indexed sources. ADP absorption at 24.59% through February 2026 is a verified figure from the March 2026 review meeting. TMED supervises approximately 113 public technical institutes, 4,727 private technical institutes, 3 public madrasas, and 7,620 private madrasas.
