Send Hindu children studying in madarasas to regular schools, NCPCR Chief appeals MP Govt

More than 9,000 Hindu children are studying in madarasas in the State

Bhopal (MP) – Priyank Kanoongo, the Chief of the ‘National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)’, has appealed to the Madhya Pradesh Government to send Hindu children studying in madarasas to regular schools. He was speaking at a meeting held here. Priyank Kanoongo stated, “As many as 9,417 Hindu children are studying at 1,755 registered madarasas in Madhya Pradesh, and these institutions lack infrastructure as mandated under the ‘Right to Education (RTE) Act’. Muslim children studying at unregistered madarasas too should be shifted to regular schools. I request the MP Government to pull out Hindu children studying in madarasas.”

Madarasa teachers do not even have B.Ed. degree

“The Act under which the MP Madarsa Board came into being defines madarasas and clearly states that Islamic religious education should be imparted to them. Section 1 of the Right to Education Act excludes madarasas from the purview of the Right to Education Act,” Kanoongo said.

According to the information from the NCPCR, teachers at these madarasas do not have a B.Ed. degree and have not taken the Teacher Eligibility Test, he claimed, adding that their infrastructure is not under the RTE Act.

Demand to send Muslim children from unregistered madarasas to regular schools

Priyank Kanoongo stated, “The safety and security arrangements in madarasas are not up to the mark. I request the MP Government to rectify it immediately. Under the RTE Act, it is the Government’s job to set up schools, and funding the Madrasa Board is like depriving the poor children of their Right to Education. Muslim children studying in unregistered madarasas should also be immediately sent to regular schools.”

Editorial Perspectives

• In a Hindu-majority country, it is shameful for Hindus that Hindu parents send their children to madarasas for education.
• Governments and Hindu organisations in other States should investigate if such things are happening there and make efforts to send these children to regular schools.
