Happy Ramadan ! Students of Brains Convent School need your support
Wish All The Members & Well-wishers of this Foundation a HAPPY RAMADAN. May Almighty Allah accepts our prayers and fasts and admits us among the righteous - Amen.
This couldnt be a better month than the Holy month of Ramadan that these students of Brains Convent School require your support in meeting their needs of tuition fees and for us to earn multiplied Sawa'ab. Brains Convent School is the only Muslim school recognized by ICSE board in Lucknow and maintains a very high standard of education and discipline. This school caters to the Nakhas, Raja Bazaar, Yahya Ganj, Rakab Ganj, Moulvi Ganj areas of the school. Last year we had 30 students sponsored by this foundation studying in this school, and this year the numbers have doubled to 61 students. All these cases of new students were surveyed by our members and some recommended by the school.
Since the tuition fees of this school is substantially high when compared to the other schools in this area, the school has decided to waive 50% of the tuition fees. I humbly request, the members of our community to lend a helping hand to these children who have made it so far, and now they require your support. You can adopt one, two , three or as many student's fees for the entire year, and payment can be made on a quarterly, six-monthly or yearly basis.

India at a Glance (Fact Sheet) - Education
Education in India
Illiteracy: India has 35% of the world’s total illiterates. [2008]
Out of school children: 320 lakh in 2001-02 | 76 lakh in 2007-08.
World Bank Report (2009):
48 of every 100 students in India pursuing secondary education never go beyond that level.
India's gross enrolment rates (GER) in secondary school is 40 percent compared to 70 percent in East Asia and 82 percent in Latin America. Countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh which have lower per capita incomes than India have higher gross enrolment rates (GER) in secondary schools.
40 million children were enrolled in secondary school in 2008. The majority of them were boys, children from the urban areas, and those who belonged to the wealthier segments of the population.
Enrolment varies greatly between states, from 92% in Kerala, 44% in Tamil Nadu, 22% in Bihar, and 4% in Jharkhand. 37% of secondary students fail, and 11% dropout before exam.
75% of public funding for secondary schools comes from states. Less than 10% of this is for investment. While recurrent financing, mainly for teacher salaries, has been stable, the financing of new investments has declined.
60% of the secondary school system is privately managed - through unaided and aided private schools. Private unaided schools provide 30% of total secondary enrolment nationwide (2004-05), up from 15% in 1993-94.
On average, government school teachers earn 3 times more than their counterparts in private schools.
Primary-school Teacher Absence (World Bank Report 2002-03)
S. No | Country | Absence Rate (%) |
1 | Uganda | 27 |
2 | India | 25 |
3 | Indonesia | 19 |
4 | Ecuador | 14 |
5 | Zambia | 17 |
6 | Bangladesh | 16 |
7 | Papua New Guinea | 15 |
8 | Peru | 11 |

Missing Teachers (World Bank-Harvard University study-06)
25 per cent of teachers were absent from school and only about half were teaching.
Rates of absenteeism varied from under 15 per cent in Maharashtra to 42 per cent in Jharkhand. The rates were found to be higher in the "poorer States."
Maharashtra had the lowest rate — 14.6 per cent. In Kerala it was 21.2 per cent, in Tamil Nadu 21.3 per cent, in Karnataka 21.7 per cent and in West Bengal 24.7 per cent. On the higher side, the rate was 34.4 per cent in Punjab, 37.8 per cent in Bihar, and 41.9 per cent in Jharkhand.
Categories of absence of teachers, the study found that it was 30.2 per cent in the case of head teachers, 22.2 per cent in the case of deputy heads, 23.1 per cent in respect of permanent or regular teachers, and 24 per cent in the case of contract/informal candidates.
Teacher absence was considerably lower in schools with better infrastructure, a potentially important pointer to the importance of working conditions.

Teacher and Pupil Ratio
The all-India teacher and pupil ratio for primary schools in 2005-06 stood at 1:46. But states like Bihar had a teacher to pupil ratio of 1:104, Jharkhand 1:79 and West Bengal 1:50.
