THREAD: NSO under Union Govt released report on "Household Social Consumption on Education in India" In its chapter on status of education among various social groups, the report has highlighted how Muslims lag behind the most & how the system has especially betrayed Muslim women

First, the literacy gap between Muslims & other groups continues to increase. Because successive governments have refused to invest in education for Muslims They haven't made scholarships demand driven & neither have they established schools for Muslim students

On every attendance ratio, Muslims lag behind others. However, what is more worrisome is that the ratio falls substantially as Muslim students move from Primary towards Higher education. In other words, Muslim students are forced to drop out due to lack of financial support

Muslims have the highest proportion of young people who have never been enrolled in a formal education program. This again points to the worsening state of government spending on education for Muslims. Muslim backwardness is solely a product of deliberate neglect by the govt

As members of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice (report tabled on 9.08.18), we'd found that 85 LAKH Muslim students are deprived of scholarships every year because the govt gives scholarships to only a limited number of people & does not make it demand driven

Demand driven scholarships mean that every eligible person who applies for the scholarship will get it. However, since our Standing Committee report @naqvimukhtar @PMOIndia have "gracefully" slashed 80 cr from scholarships. https://twitter.com/asadowaisi/status/1147441530589679617

The fact that so many people apply for these scholarships & so few get it is proof that Muslims aspire to study despite the absence of support. Reservations may be too much for you to digest - but at least establish more schools & fund more scholarships
