Madrasas ‘unfit’ places for children to receive proper education: NCPCR submits in Supreme Court

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has expressed concerns about madrasas, stating that they are not suitable places for children to receive proper education. The Commission highlighted issues such as the curriculum, eligibility of teachers, opaque funding, violation of land laws, and the failure to provide a holistic environment for children. It argued that madrasas mainly focus on religious education and lack crucial components of learning. The Commission also raised concerns about children from faiths other than Islam studying in madrasas, stating that it violates their rights. Overall, the Commission emphasized the need for children to have access to a quality education and a healthy learning environment.
