Muslim Parents in Tower Hamlets

Parents have the overall responsibility to ensure that the education and development of the child takes place in the most wholesome manner such that the personality of the child is nurtured from its natural state of innocence and purity to one that can distinguish between right and wrong, and understands ones purpose in life.

Education should not be viewed as simply the acquiring of knowledge, for the most intelligent of people can be the most corrupt of persons. Rather parents must recognise how their intervention in the educational process of the child to support the development of moral and spiritual values as well as the academic and scientific knowledge will lead to a happy and content personality for a child. Parents need to be fully engaged in working with schools to ensure that the child’s needs are met.

This booklet seeks to empower the parent to become engaged in the education of the child by giving practical advice on supporting the moral, spiritual and academic development. Click here to download the booklet or click here to order these booklets free of charge.
