Abstract
"There were three broad aims [of the review]:
1. To research and evaluate the current training provisions for imams and
scholars provided by seminaries and other imam-training institutions in the
UK; to explore the strengths and weaknesses of current provision; and, in
particular, to identify any gaps in the training of faith leaders that need to be
addressed.
2. To explore the different models and methods employed for training faith
leaders and to identify elements of best practice for wider dissemination.
3. To explore the possibilities of collaborative initiatives between the providers of
Muslim faith leadership training and mainstream further education and higher
education institutions and the possibility of attaining additional knowledge and
skills leading to higher education qualifications and better employment
prospects." - Page 8
