Intolerant schools bring about worry, but humane approach is essential: Specialists – Tuesday, June 28, 2022

The government’s latest crackdown on the hardline Muslim mass group Khilafatul Muslimin, which is believed to finance or be affiliated with some academic establishments across the country, has raised new problems about the menace of intolerance in educational institutions.

Authorities cracked down on the group immediately after a collection of general public functions in Jakarta in late May perhaps, which it said was hoping to swap Pancasila’s condition ideology with a caliphate. Police have now arrested two dozen customers, such as their chief, Abdul Qadir Hassan Baraha, for violating the 2017 Mass Arranging Act.

Educators claimed the discovery of dozens of Islamic boarding educational facilities run by Khilafatul Muslimin ought to be a result in for alarm and called on the federal government to reinforce supervision and guidance on grassroots educational institutions.
