In the past the mother was considered to be the first school for the child and until the child begins to understand how to read and write he/she will not be sent to school. But with the passage of time the concept of Pre-school education (Infant Education) has immerged. Infant Education is necessary to put quality standards in the children’s minds from their very young age. The age of the child is quite sensitive at this stage of Pre School because they are going to discover the world outside. Their minds should be prepared for it with proper care and teaching.

Basically the educational training given in these types of schools consists of Play-school, Nursery and the like kinds. But now the Pre-School concept has combined all these aspects with more work coming in the small school. The Pre-School system is mainly followed in the UK and other English countries while their branches are also in other countries as well. Many countries are following Pre-School system as an international standard because of their significant success rate. The whole curriculum is designed according to the child psychology, within these schools. Also the curriculum is flexible enough to fulfill the needs of every child because at this stage the child is subject to a variety of physical and mental growths.

The objective of the Pre-School education system is to provide children an environment in which they can learn new things independently. In order to make the child confident it is necessary to overcome the initial separation anxiety and independent learning is the solution for it. Usually the child learns automatically how to adjust in the school’s environment and by interacting continuously with other children vocabulary and language skills also develop rapidly. Cognitive approach is also followed in the pre-school environment to improve learning process. In this case the curriculum is designed with the activities that involve vibrant colors, patterns and shapes to grab child’s attention.

Distinctive tools are used in the processes of learning because it is an easy way to remember. And it is very important for the child to remember all the basic alphabets and letters so that they can learn more advanced lessons. This is the reason blocks with letters printed over them are used to keep the child remember the alphabet shape and similarly other tools are used with more knowledgeable experience. Good habits and etiquettes teaching is also followed within these schools with a proper plan.

There are various community training centers in the UK who are offering Pre-school and small school services especially Muslim schools are well known in this domain. Islamic charitable trusts are quite popular in the whole UK due to their quality education system with fewer charges. It is one of the greatest fears of Muslim parents that their child will learn non Islamic things, if they sent their child to a private community school run by Christian or other religion people. But now there are extraordinary well established Muslim schools in UK and other European countries as well.

Few Islamic schools in Manchester are offering free studies for orphans in some of the third world African countries and around the world. Hanifah School of Manchester is running a program in Gambia for orphans and has established a school project too.

Trust is such a small word and yet can have huge implications in a person’s life. Some people find it very easy to place their trust in others and this can continue even when they find that their trust has been misplaced or abused. They believe that people are generally good and should be given another chance. Then there are the others like me who have been hurt enough times and had their trust betrayed that they do not find it possible to trust people easily and will often keep people at arms length, with only a few exceptions.

Trust has to be earned and you need to prove that you are reliable and will not let people down who are relying on you for something, either in the workplace, between family members or in a social setting. I have one bond of trust which has stood the test of time but not without hard work on both sides. Like most people I wish to be thought of as being trustworthy.

This friendship has withstood many tests and is still going strong, but the change which I mentioned earlier has caused us both to be aware of the pitfalls. It has often been said that religion is a double-edged sword and we have found this to be true, as religion is the one thing which still threatens to send us on our separate ways.My friend and I have realised that this is one topic on which we will never agree so to make our lives easier, and our friendship last, we have decided that we will avoid the issue of religion in our conversations.

 Although we are both practicing Muslims, we have differing viewpoints regarding our religion. For many years my friend has been in favour of religious education in schools in the UK and has now enrolled her children in Islamic schools in Manchester, run by a staff of devout Muslims, with a strong emphasis on community training. She believes that this will make her children devout Muslims, who will in turn encourage the spread and the teachings of Islam, whereas my opinion is that this will make her children intolerant towards other religions.

I happen to disagree and think that children should not be forced to study in a religious environment and that the teaching of religion should be a separate process for which the parents need to make alternative arrangements. Many people will say that I am wrong that we should mix religion with education but I believe that it is a matter of choice, as long as the children are happy and doing well at their studies, I am not one to interfere in someone else’s way of live. I am all in favour of giving to Islamic charities but I always do my research before I part with my money and make sure that I approve of the beliefs and actions of the charity I am donating to.
