Patna: With an aim to check pre-matric dropout rate in Bihar and Jharkhand, the Rahber Coaching Centre is providing free tuition to poor minority and other backward class students of Class 8-10. The centre has invited application from the eligible students to join free part-time coaching in different parts of Bihar and Jharkhand.
Rahber Coaching Centre is sponsored by Bihar Anjunm and The Aligarh Forum. It was started last year in several districts of Bihar and Jharkhand to reduce the drop-out rates among the minority communities. Overwhelmed with due success, the administration of the centre is going to start fresh batch from 3rd April in Patna, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Bhabua (all in Bihar), and Singhbhum (Jharkhand).
The poor students who are pursuing their education in government schools and their parents are unable to provide them with tuition due to poverty will be eligible to join the Centre wherein they will be coached after or before school times.
Last date for submission of applications is 25th March.
While talking to TwoCircles.net, Convener of Bihar Anjuman Mohammad Inam Khan said: “It is a milestone towards stopping the drop-out which is in alarming number among Muslims especially at the level of primary, middle, and higher secondary. The main reason for high dropout is poverty and lack of community support. Therefore, our team decided to try removing hurdle somehow in the way of those who are eager to avail higher education but poverty stops them in the middle path. We hire teachers for part-time service at these centres. They teach 3 hours before or after class times. Some teachers also offer their services voluntarily.”
“As Muslims are behind others in education in the light of Sachar Committee report, we are taking 85% Muslim students both boys and girls and 15% students from other backward communities at these centres” he added.
Asked about number of students who will be taken at each centre, he said: “We concentrate on quality education. So, the number of students depends on availability of good teachers. Therefore, it may be different in different places but it will be from 50 to 100 at each centre.
About future plan he said: “Currently, we are running these centres in selected areas. We are far from our vision that is to extend it to all localities dominated by the minority community in all districts of Bihar and Jharkhand.”
