Recognition for the people behind weekly learning
Singapore’s Islamic Religious Council, MUIS, says it presented 32 awards at its aLIVE Asatizah Awards and Symposium on 17 October 2026. The annual event recognised religious educators working with the next generation.
According to the announcement, the total comprised 20 Outstanding Asatizah awards and 12 Dedicated Asatizah awards. The programme also brought educators together to consider students’ different learning needs.
Keeping learners at the centre
MUIS describes sessions on compassionate teaching, classroom engagement and inclusive approaches. A showcase included the use of artificial intelligence to help with lesson preparation and learning. These are activities reported by the organiser; they should not be read as an endorsement of a particular commercial app.
For families, the useful question is how an educational approach meets a learner’s needs. An award announcement is one starting point for understanding an institution’s work, rather than a substitute for discussing a particular class with its provider.
A practical next step for families
MUIS’s education website distinguishes full-time madrasahs from part-time Islamic classes and provides directories for recognised asatizah and registered Muslim religious schools. Its part-time learning information covers children, teenagers, young people and adults.
Before choosing a class, ask its provider about the age group, language, schedule and support available. Those questions help turn a general education update into a decision suited to your family. AL-Naqawa is reporting the announcement, not enrolling students or assessing individual teachers.
