Teacher‑learner ratio maintained
Assesses the commitment to a low teacher-learner ratio, embodying the principles of Iḥsān (excellence), Riʿāyah (care), and Amānah (trust). This ensures each learner receives personalized attention for deeper understanding and holistic development, enabling teachers to effectively fulfill their educational trust without being overburdened. Such balanced proportions facilitate authentic Tarbiyah (holistic nurturing) and Tazkiyah (spiritual purification). Furthermore, it aligns with the Maqāṣid (objectives) of preserving the intellect by guaranteeing that knowledge is transmitted through meaningful, individualized mentorship.
