The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has recently put forward a comprehensive set of recommendations regarding the madarsa education system in India. The NCPCR's main concern is ensuring that all children, including those attending madarsas, receive a formal education in line with the provisions of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009. Over the years, the NCPCR has repeatedly expressed its concerns about how madarsa students are being kept away from the formal education system, a practice that often results in “educational deprivation” and “violations of their rights.” This report aims to address these issues, proposing changes that could improve educational access and quality for children in madarsas.
