When the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina ended, the Islamic Community was faced with new challenges that were brought about with the democratic changes. One of the priorities was to establish the system for qualified personnel training for the subject Catechism (Vjeronauka) that was first introduced in the curriculum of primary schools of the Una-sana Canton by the end of the year 1992.  As the mentioned subject has already stabilized in the primary and secondary schools during the war, need for the long-term solving of high-graded teaching staff for the mentioned subject, at the end of the aggression, enforced without saying.

The Parliament of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 25th December, 2005 made a decision about establishing the Islamic Teachers' Academy in Bihać. The first generation of the students entered in academic 1996/97. The Islamic Teachers' Academy is united in the University in Bihać. The Islamic Teachers' Academy in Bihać got it building intended for a specific reason and, in 2002, moved in.

The Parliament of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on 4th May, 2005 made the Decision about transformation from two-year lasting study into three-year study at IPA in Zenica and Bihać.
