For
a number of years the standard of educational
achievement has been declining compared to other
European countries. In many inner city schools,
children lack motivation and commitment to education.
In the recent past, British Governments have as
a matter of priority formulated educational policies
to combat declining educational standards in schools.Our
Muslim children face even greater challenges in
state run schools. They are not only in danger
of failing to meet the highest educational standards
but also face threats to their moral and Islamic
identity.
People
of Jewish faith in Britain number around three hundred
thousand, however, they have their own Jewish schools
where, in addition to teaching their own faith they
deliver, the highest standards of education. The students
of their schools go on to make a powerful contribution
to economic and political life of British Society.
Let us Muslims too, establish our own Islamic schools
where we can instil the moral and spiritual teaching
of Islam and deliver the highest standard of education
to our future Muslim generations in Britain.
