Madarsa in Bihar have decided not to
allow girls to take admission with boys. Madarsa Ajijiya which is located in
Biharsharif had banned the co- education enrollment of girls and said that
their religion does not allow them to study together and have restricted the
girls who were studying in the madarsa. According to the religious authorities
co- education is a sin.
After this decision girls protested
in front of the madasrsa. S.M. Sharif who is a secretary of the institution
said that they teach religious education and co – education and girls are being
taught by male teachers and it is a sin. Till the time female teachers are not
recruited the enrollment for girls will be closed or they find some other
education system for girls. This Madarsa had classes from 3rd to MA
and their salaries are paid by the state government. Before the Ban girls out-
numbered this institution in enrollment.
