The British Sikh School Will Open Its Doors In September 2015

[Guest Jacfsing2]

i hope someone understands the point im trying to make. if its a sikh school should there not be santhia , kirtan, simran and sikh history. whats the point in having a school called sikh school if its in name only

other religions have done a great job of using these schools to teach there religion and what they stand for to there young people. meanwhile we get a school to teach sikhi but its probably going to end up as a secular school

i remember on one of the sikh channel shows, the presenter went to a sgpc school to ask sikhi related questions to all girl sikh school run by sgpc. when he asked a sikhi related question in class to a gir, she looked confused, so he asked dont you have divinity classes in this sikh school she said no. you should have seen his face

im cynical but hope they will teach gurmat

I agree with you 100%, but the problem is Sikh schools are too politically correct where they allow everyone to follow their religion, and they try too hard to accommodate all the other dharmas where Sikhi gets ignored. The solution is not to kick out the non-Sikh students, but rather enforce everyone to take such classes like they do in Christian schools regardless of what religion they follow.

Anyone know when the future Nishkam Secondary school will be built in Brentford?

If your talking about the one in Isleworth then i think they are planning to open year 7 (secondary) in 2017.

They are schools that follow the national ciricullum with a Sikh Ethos.

There are punjabi classes with morning assembly that consists of the pupils doing path and ardaas.

Even if some of the pupils are not Amritdhari, they learn japji sahib, jaap Sahib etc . It may not be good enough for some of the posters here but it at least builds a foundation, it's better than what a lot of Gurdwaras provide.

What you also need to remember here, a lot of manmukh,mona type parents send their kids to Sikh schools because they cannot provide their children with the Sikh, Gurbani education. It is something they missed out on in their childhood and feel someone else can provide it much better than they can.

Whereas you expect a top down approach of parents teaching children, it goes into reverse where the children teach the parents.

Nothing feels better for these parents than to listen to their children recite bani or play kirtan.
