Bradford school attendance figures are improving
7:00am Thursday 18th October 2012 in News
By James Rush, T&A Reporter
Pupil absences at schools in Bradford have improved faster than in Yorkshire and across the rest of the country, the latest figures have revealed.
But absences in the district have remained higher than the national and the regional average, according to figures released yesterday by the Department for Education for September 2011 through to Easter.
Education chiefs in the district have praised schools for improving figures, but warned there is still more to do.
Councillor Ralph Berry, Bradford Council’s executive member for children’s services, said: “I want to see us improving but I know there are still problems and challenges we need to face and parents need to know what they are doing to children if they keep them off. You are damaging your children’s future and prospects.
“My position is there’s no complacency here – we have more to do. We have made a lot of progress in the right direction, but people have seriously got to think about their priorities when they are taking their children on holiday. And what we need to know is whether an absence is because of any problem in the family.
“One of the key indicators of a problem in a family is a growing pattern of lateness and absences. The first line of safeguarding is getting on top of pupil absences.”
The figures also show the improvement rate for persistent absence – which counts pupils with less than 85% attendance is better in the Bradford district than Yorkshire and the Humber and in England.
Nearly 2,200 fewer pupils in primary and secondary schools were counted as persistently absent compared with the previous year’s figures – a reduction of 34 per cent. But the 5.4 per cent overall absence in Bradford remained above the national average of five per cent and the regional average of 5.1 and the persistent absence rate in Bradford remained higher than both at 5.9 per cent, compared to 4.9 per cent nationally and 5.4 across Yorkshire and the Humber.
George McQueen, the Council’s assistant director for access and inclusion, said: “These figures are the result of the hard work of all involved in efforts to improve overall school attendance in the Bradford District.
“There has been a significant increase in attendance year on year. In the last five years overall attendance has risen by about two per cent in the district’s primary and secondary schools. The figures also show a significant reduction in the number of persistently absent pupils as well as reductions in authorised and unauthorised absence.
“Congratulations should go to all who have contributed to this success.”

This could simply be down to the number of eastern European kids in primary school, who's parent value a decent education, offsetting the absence of others who seem to think a cheap holiday or extended visit to relatives is of more importance than giving their children a chance in life. .”
Muslim parents also value decent education. There is a negative co-relation between state schools and Muslim's homes. British schooling does not provide decent education to bilingual Muslim children. They are at a wrong place at a wrong time. They need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies.
The right to education in one’s own comfort zone is a fundamental and inalienable human right that should be available to all people irrespective of their ethnicity or religious background. Schools do not belong to state, they belong to parents. It is the parents’ choice to have faith schools for their children. Migrant Muslims are not economic slaves. They are part and parcel of British society with their own cultures, languages and faith. Migrant Muslims need to preserve and transmit their cultural, linguistic and spiritual identities; otherwise, they will be lost in the western jungle. Learning Arabic, Urdu and other community languages do not deter people from integrating. It helps them integrate. British schooling is at war with Migrant Muslims learning Arabic, Urdu and other community languages. Multilingualism should be celebrated because it is an asset but British education regards it as a problem.
According to recent studies, bilingual Muslim pupils feel unsafe and unwelcome in state or public schools because they are bullied by native children. Anthropologist Laura Gillian from Danish Pedagogic University, who has carried out field work, believes that many minority children feel that they do not belong in their schools. The feeling of alienation, as well as dissatisfaction with the curriculum, has been brewing for a long time with the result that many ethnic groups have started their own private schools. The Manifesto of the Norwegian Terrorist and mass murderer clearly states that in Europe Pakistani Muslims are on the increase because of migration and high birth rate and one day they are going to demand the Pakistan of Europe. When he was in school, he was afraid of a Pakistani gang. He is afraid of popularity of Islam and revertion of Europeans.
English is one of the most damaging subject, reflects secular and immoral beliefs that contradict the viewpoint of Islam. Romeo and Juliet of Shakespeare advocates disobeying parents and premarital relations. Most people know English as a language, perhaps as a global language.

It is these interests that we will call 'industry'. English language relates to the interests of corporations and governments, who use the language to make money and to promote certain beliefs and practices. As English was (and is) learnt in many parts of the world as an additional language, the learners need teachers, teaching material, and language tests, etc. This need for teachers and material has led to a development of a large number of local, national, and multinational corporations that train and produce these human and material resources.

Are you so insecure that you can't bear for your children to mix with others from different or no faith? If you regard others as corrupt, why not go somewhere were there are no infidels, however hard you try you cannot prevent your children from experiencing a certain amount of freedom and liberty if you remain here?

Muslim community not only needs Mosques but also state funded Muslim schools for their bilingual children. They need to learn and be well versed in standard English to follow the national Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. They also need to learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit.
A good school is not just a knowledge factory or a conveyor belt for churning out exam passes – it is a community, a family. A community is held together by common values and principles.
It is a common saying that British schooling is upholding British values of integration, respect, tolerance and equality. But all minority groups find British schooling is the home of institutional racism and British teachers are chicken racist. This is one of the many reason why they would like to see their children attending their own schools with their own teachers. Muslim community started setting up school in the 80s and I set up the first Muslim school in 1981 and now there are 166 Muslim schools and only 11 are state funded. Sikh and Hindu communities have set up their own schools. Now Black community is thinking of setting up schools with their own teachers.
Muslim families are as entitled as any other religious group to schools that nurture their children’s faith. Muslim pupils should be educated in Muslim schools because the current system is marginalising them. Teaching Muslim children in a Muslim school would remove the “problem of them being exposed” to values that conflict with Islamic faith. Muslim pupils are disadvantaged and marginalised in the city’s state schools because the cultural heritage of the curriculum is “European and Christian”.
Muslim schools provide an education in accordance with the Muslim beliefs and values, such as providing single-sex schooling after puberty. They are thus a response to the danger of absorption into the dominant culture.
There is already a divided education system in all inner cities because of the demographics of the population. This has been the situation for 15 to 20 years. If this was so important why has nothing been done before?
A growing number of British-born Muslims and especially Pakistanis are suffering from psychological problems and apathy and are either turning to crime or radical Islam. Majority of British Muslims are from Pakistan.
A growing number of young Pakistanis feel they are ‘second class citizens and will remain so. They are addressed as outsiders – as ‘immigrant, **** or Muslim’ and increasingly shut out or discriminated against. The hardening of attitudes towards Muslims in British society is also having an effect.
I have been campaigning for state funded Muslim schools for the last 35 years
because British schooling is the home of
institutional racism and British teachers are chicken racists. British
teachers are not role models for Muslim children during their developmental
periods.
I set up the first Muslim school in London in 1981 and now there are about
170 Muslim schools and only 12 are state funded. I would like to see each
and every Muslim child in a state funded Muslim school with bilingual Muslim
teachers as role model. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a
teacher in a Muslim school.
Western media and politicians have been trying their best to propagate
against Muslim schools. Muslim schools are even called Osama bin Laden Academies by a Teaching Union. Only less than 5% of Muslim children attend Muslim
schools while more than 95% are in state schools to be mis-educated and
de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers.
The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of
the land. Muslim community is not asking for any favour. Muslim community
pays all sorts of taxes and is less burden on social services.
Church leaders say it is no longer “appropriate” for them to run Sacred
Heart RC Primary School which has just six Christian pupils. The school in
Blackburn, Lancs, could be handed to the nearby Masjid-e-Tauheedul mosque.
Harry Devonport of Blackburn with Darwen Council Children’s Services, said
the decision to abandon the school was made by the Diocese of Salford.
Diocese education director Geraldine Bradbury said: “We have never
experienced a change to this extent before. We would not be serving the
local community by insisting that we run the school. It brings things like
having a Catholic head teacher and devoting 10% of the timetable to RE.
“It would be wrong of us to insist on putting a school community through
that.”

I have been both abused and helped by whites and Asians alike, all total strangers.
I have been attacked by white chavs in the city centre in broad daylight, and once had a bottle thrown at me for no reason by a young Asian man, in a car who shouted "I'll kill you, you white b'stard" as he drove past me as I walked to the local shop to buy a newspaper on a Saturday morning.
On the other hand, a group of young Asian men once very generously paid for my petrol and gave me a lift back to my motorcycle.

Furthermore, the reason that foreigners are attracted to this country is not for the "easy" Benefits, as some believe, but because they are subconsciously attracted to the spiritual Light that is centered in this, God's own land. They are drawn to the Light in Britain like moths to a flame, for it is here in England that the 'New Jerusalem' will be built.

It's not one section of society or another. Middle class parents taking their kids skiing on the cheap is just the same as someone visiting relatives for a few weeks, or the parents who couldn't care less where their kids go as long as they can watch Jeremy Kyle in peace!

And to think there is a young girl in hospital with a bullet wound to the head for daring to say she wanted an education. If only that's what are schools were there to provide as apposed to indoctrination into the system. Then there are those who want the government to fund segregated schools as the schools we have don't indoctrinate with the levels of mind control that they would like.

This could simply be down to the number of eastern European kids in primary school, who's parent value a decent education, offsetting the absence of others who seem to think a cheap holiday or extended visit to relatives is of more importance than giving their children a chance in life. .”
Muslim parents also value decent education. There is a negative co-relation between state schools and Muslim's homes. British schooling does not provide decent education to bilingual Muslim children. They are at a wrong place at a wrong time. They need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies.
The right to education in one’s own comfort zone is a fundamental and inalienable human right that should be available to all people irrespective of their ethnicity or religious background. Schools do not belong to state, they belong to parents. It is the parents’ choice to have faith schools for their children. Migrant Muslims are not economic slaves. They are part and parcel of British society with their own cultures, languages and faith. Migrant Muslims need to preserve and transmit their cultural, linguistic and spiritual identities; otherwise, they will be lost in the western jungle. Learning Arabic, Urdu and other community languages do not deter people from integrating. It helps them integrate. British schooling is at war with Migrant Muslims learning Arabic, Urdu and other community languages. Multilingualism should be celebrated because it is an asset but British education regards it as a problem.
According to recent studies, bilingual Muslim pupils feel unsafe and unwelcome in state or public schools because they are bullied by native children. Anthropologist Laura Gillian from Danish Pedagogic University, who has carried out field work, believes that many minority children feel that they do not belong in their schools. The feeling of alienation, as well as dissatisfaction with the curriculum, has been brewing for a long time with the result that many ethnic groups have started their own private schools. The Manifesto of the Norwegian Terrorist and mass murderer clearly states that in Europe Pakistani Muslims are on the increase because of migration and high birth rate and one day they are going to demand the Pakistan of Europe. When he was in school, he was afraid of a Pakistani gang. He is afraid of popularity of Islam and revertion of Europeans.
English is one of the most damaging subject, reflects secular and immoral beliefs that contradict the viewpoint of Islam. Romeo and Juliet of Shakespeare advocates disobeying parents and premarital relations. Most people know English as a language, perhaps as a global language. Now English has become an industry, according to Ahmar Mahboob from the University of Sydney. There are a range of commercial, economic, and industrial interests that are affiliated to it. It is these interests that we will call 'industry'. English language relates to the interests of corporations and governments, who use the language to make money and to promote certain beliefs and practices. As English was (and is) learnt in many parts of the world as an additional language, the learners need teachers, teaching material, and language tests, etc. This need for teachers and material has led to a development of a large number of local, national, and multinational corporations that train and produce these human and material resources. Speaking English does not promote integration into British, American and Australian societies, and broaden opportunities. English speaking Muslim youths are angry, frustrated and extremist, thanks to English language. English language is not only a lingua franca but also lingua frankensteinia. Human right is also covers linguistic right. Cultural and linguistic genocide are very common. English is today the world killer language.

What about the non-English speaking Muslim youths in other countries who are also "angry, frustrated and extremist" ?
The so-called 'Arab Spring' was surely a back-lash against the oppressive tyrannical regimes in those Muslim countries, was it not?
There is to be an Islamic Reformation, lead by women, as is now being demonstrated by brave young women such as Malala Yousafzai, the girl who has been shot by the evil Taliban extremists that I'm sure you will join the world in condemning?
The bearded clerics and mad Mullahs have had their day. It is time for the old Patriarchy to fade into the past and for Muslim women to take their rightful place at the head of the Islamic world, wouldn't you agree?
