Multi-faith Schools
Multi-faith Schools
A Muslim charity In Swindon is bidding to run the first Multi-faith Muslim School for Muslim and non-Muslim children and have teachers from different faiths. An hour of the timetable each day would be dedicated to studying Arabic and the Holy Quran. Non-Muslims pupils would be able to be exempted from the lessons, but it is hoped that the majority would choose to stay in class to gain more “insight” into the Islamic faith.
In my opinion, Multifaith school is not going to be successful because non-Muslim parents would not send their children. In the past, a plan for a Multi-faith secondary school in Westminster for 1000 pupils could not be materialised because faith groups could not come to any agreement.
Policy – Rich and poor school gap widens
Policy – Rich and poor school gap widens

The gap between rich and poor schools increased by two percentage points in 2007 on a key measure of performance, official figures reveal. In schools where more than half of pupils are eligible for free school meals, the proportion of children achieving five good GCSEs, including English and mathematics, decreased from 14 per cent in 2006 to 13 per cent in 2007, according to the figures. But at schools where less than one in 10 pupils are eligible for free meals, the proportion achieving five good GCSEs increased from 57 per cent to 58 per cent, the figures show.
Shadow children’s secretary Michael Gove, who obtained the figures in a written parliamentary answer, said: “Parents and children, particularly those from deprived backgrounds, are being let down by this block on opportunity.” But children’s minister Baroness Morgan said: “More children on free school meals get five GCSE A*-Cs than a decade ago.” She added: “This is a complex and challenging issue but no-one should be in any doubt that it is one we are tackling head on.”

Satanic Tactics Beware!!! Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: ‘Shaitan tries to destroy the son of Adam in one of seven phases. Some of them are more intense than others.
