With the trust running the largest British Hindu faith school planning to exit the education sector by announcing its closure, thousands have now come out to prevent its closure.

It is said that thousands of people have signed a petition to prevent the closure of independent Hindu faith namely, the Swaminarayan School.

Run by the Akshar Educational Trust, the school was set up in year 1992 but now has announced its closure only last month.

The trust has even made public that it plans to exit the education sector completely by July 2020.

Parents of students associated with the school have now organised a campaign to save the “school of excellence” from closure.

The decision is said to be driven by continually rising regulatory requirements, difficulties in recruitment and retention of teachers.

Meanwhile lots of anxious parents have gone on to coordinate a save-the-school campaign.

They argued that many of the Indian-origin families have relocated and changed their way of life to enable their children to get an education within this school located in Neasden, north-west London.

The school has been very popular within the large Indian-origin community-based in the borough of Brent.

The parents are furious at the lack of consultation before the announcement was made.

Under the UK’s educational system, privately-run faith schools must follow a national curriculum but can have a particular religious character or formal links with a religious organisation.>
