Madarasa is a wrong place for the quality education

Candid statement by Child Rights Commission in the Supreme Court

New Delhi – Madarasas are a wrong place for good education. Madarasas operate arbitrarily, violating constitutional orders, right to education Act and Child Justice Act 2015. Madarasa board should not be considered an educational authority. Madarasa Board just conducts examinations, and their capability is limited to only that. This education board is completely opposite to NCERT and SCERT curriculum. The children educated in the madarasas are deprived of their right to education. They do not get proper education. This candid statement has
been given by the National Commission for the Protection of Child rights in the Supreme Court.

Madarasas deprive students of their right to education

Anjum Quadri connected with UP Madarasas had filed a case in the supreme court. On 22^ndMarch 2024, the Allahabad High Court had given a judgement in which they had quashed the provisions of the UP- Madrasa Education Board Act 2004. Subsequently the Supreme Court had stayed the order and asked the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to submit a written statement. Accordingly, the statement has been submitted.

Violation of constitutional right to education

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has said that Madarasas violate children’s fundamental right to education. Their education is only about religion. Madarasas do not comply with fundamental right to education 2009 and do not follow any other currently applicable requirements or provisions by the law. Madarasas are completely unsuitable for proper education. The children are deprived of their right to education by violating the Sections 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 29. Madarasas are unsatisfactory and inadequate models for education. They lack proper curriculum and procedures.
