  • Thousands of British boys can barely read or write English aged 16, with some of them routinely beaten in unsafe schools, because the government allows a strict religious group to deny them an adequate education, The Times has found.

    Why isn't this a bigger issue? From what i know, children between 5-16 in the UK are legally required to be enrolled in school OR parents have to be able to prove they are providing suitable home-based schooling for their children.... Why is the government not making a bigger deal out of this? Respecting religious freedom is one thing, but following the law is another. If these children never get a proper education, how will they eventually be able to integrate into society? This is not just a community issue, but a societal issue because these children will eventually grow up to be incapable of finding and performing work and most likely dependant on the state.

      I expect it's because the children live in a very orthodox Jewish community who provide their own shops, employment and even an ambulance service, so the community educate the children according to what they will need to live within that community as adults. It's a sensitive issue because the Stamford Hill Jews don't tend to integrate with people outside their community nor have many outside visitors. Sort of like how the Amish are in the USA.

      As others have said, girls normally do get better education and have a less strictly religious program (not saying it’s not still very intense - just not to the same extent as the boys) because women are viewed closer to God in this faith and are already closer than the men will ever be which is why their teaching is more rigorous. girls are still mistreated though unfortunately just in a different way :(

    The specific question which was not addressed was the length of the school day in each case. Apart from the issues of the condition of the buildings, purely religious schools are acceptable as 'after-school' provision - they finish their school day much later than normal state schools; while it could be that these are full-time schools, it isn't clearly stated that they are.

I don't believe for one second that the Torah or the Talmud says that Jews should cut themself off from wider society and be insular sects.

      I've met some of them. They do pick up English but speak it with an accent. They don't generally have media in their homes either. They simply don't know basic maths or science.

      They can speak broken english from the small amount of secular education in primary schools. But mainly testimony from those who left the community.

      No community should "live in their own world", if they are living here, they need to integrate with the country. Or leave
