subject: Muslim Parents Facing Problems For Their Children Abroad [print this page] Moving from home country in to a foreign country is a quite painful thing for Muslim parents. Their basic fear is the non Islamic culture which can affect their childrens mind and they may not take their own religion seriously. It is a fact that countries like America, Australia, UK, Germany, France and other European countries culture is not supportive for Muslims. They feel uncomfortable within these countries if they are migrated from a Muslim country. However they send their children in community schools or pre schools and in primary schools as well but after 14 years of age they avoid to send them back to school because usually at this stage cultural values starts to develop quickly due to the environment in the surroundings.
Many parents after primary school take their children back to their home country so that they should continue their higher education in an environment which gives them true religious values. After completing their education they return to the foreign country. It is seen that normally students in non Muslim countries usually adopt unethical things in the high school like smoking, drinking alcohol and sexual activities too. This negatively impacts their personality and their life. Secret parties, dance parties among student groups are now a part of western culture. Especially in high school locals in the western institutions do not like those individuals who dont participate in their cultural activities. This is the point where Muslim boys and girls surrender their religious values to survive because of the culture shock.
Now the scenario is changing a bit because Muslim community schools, primary and secondary schools are appearing on the scene. Due to lack of awareness many Muslim parents send their children to normal schools. Even there is no religious education associated with normal schools in Europe and USA but there is an environment which gives an impression of other religions values such as Christianity cross and poems which include other religions words or phrases.
Islamic schools are making progress in terms of quality education and best facilities. In UK there are several Muslim schools that are supporting education in poor countries as well. These are basically Islamic charitable trusts that fund to support schools in various African countries. The problems of Muslim parents in UK are almost over as Muslim schools are present in almost every city of UK. Within these schools standard education is given with Islamic values which not only prepare a Muslim child for the hostile cultural environment outside but also makes them a perfect human being.
Islamic schools in Manchester are quite popular due to their high quality standard and facilities. They have implemented latest techniques for preschool and small school education. All teachers are Muslims and majority of management staff too. Teachers are perfectly trained to develop creative and a religious mind of children. Islamic ethics and etiquettes lessons other than the preschool or small school curriculum are taught. These Muslim community schools have made Muslim parents life heaven as they have no more to worry about their childrens religious education.
