Question About the Nigerian School Girls
You, Sir, are a brave man to post this thread.
I can only imagine what pressures might be exerted upon schools in distant lands, but in England, green and safe little England, some Muslim schools are having masses of problems. In order to obtain National funding, all schools here have to meet with standards and criteria as laid down by our government.
Last year on RF I mentioned reports from Lancashire, England about mistreatment of minors in Muslim schools..... these were ignored or pushed aside so aggressively by some of the members and I was so emptied of spirit over the thread that I forsook it and it was closed down........
At this time in safe little England, a number of Muslim schools in Birmingham have hit the headlines. There are so many reports that I will give one www site, and if you enter Trojan Horse Birmingham into the www then pages of sites will be offered to you.
As I understand it, Female teachers have come under pressure to leave, and many of the government's requirements have been abandoned by these schools. In my opinion this is the tip of the iceberg. If this happens in England (FGS) what could possibly happen in, say, Nigeria?
Although I was an Adults-teacher, I feel very strongly about good educational policy, training, planning, teaching, assessment and examination and this subject is normally too hot for me, these days.
Denialists will insult you, but you are not alone concerning this matter.
I never thought I would have to frubal you. You are fruballed!
EDIT: I forgot the links!

The National Association of Head Teachers says it has serious concerns over schools at the centre of the alleged Islamic plot in Birmingham, with the union's general secretary warning that Islamic groups wanted "a dominant influence" over schools in the city.

More than 20 schools in Birmingham are being investigated after a letter, apparently sent to someone in Bradford, claimed a Muslim faction had sought to gain influence over schools and remove staff who were not sympathetic to its religious agenda.
