NCPCR files affidavit in Supreme Court against plea rejecting 'UP Board of Madarsa Education Act 2004'
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on Wednesday filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on a plea challenging Allahabad High Court's March 22 judgment striking down 'UP Board of Madarsa Education Act 2004'.
NCPCR says that the education imparted to children in Madrasa is not comprehensive, and is therefore against the provisions of Right to Education Act, 2009.
The Madrasa's are infringing on children's fundamental right to a good education by failing to provide these basic requirements. Children are denied not only a suitable education but also a healthy atmosphere and improved opportunities for growth, affidavit states.
Such institutes are also providing Islamic religious education to non-muslims which is further in violation of Article 28 (3) of the Constitution of India, the affidavit further says. It says that child getting education in such an institution will be devoid of basic knowledge of school curriculum which is provided in a school.
NCPCR further says in affidavit that Madrasas do not only render an unsatisfactory and insufficient model for education but also have an arbitrary mode of working which is wholly and in absence of a curriculum and evaluation procedure as laid down under Section 29 of the Right to Education Act, 2009.
