Madrasa Teachers Without Salary for Five years, Education Quality at Risk

Описание: In 2008, the Sachar Committee report found that the literacy rate among Muslims in 2001 was at least 5% below the national average of 64.8%. The gap was greatest in urban areas.

The report also indicated that the worker population ratios for Muslims are significantly lower than other socio-religious categories (SRCs) in rural areas, mainly due to the much lower participation of Muslim women in economic activities.

By 2018, the number of Muslim students enrolled in higher educational institutions increased by 37%, with an overall increase of 18%, according to the All India Survey on Higher Education.

But even now, going to schools is a far-off thought for a majority of Muslim girls from poor backgrounds. Meagre income, ghettoisation, and a lack of awareness among the Muslim community keep Muslim children, especially girls, away from schools.
