Guiding Schools and the Good Example

Question:
My brother, here from India, sent an inquiry with the following address. He asks about a piece of land he bought or donated to a mosque, which needs something. He asks, Your Eminence the Shaykh, since the good example in schools is very scarce, and we see the bad effects of seclusion are many—may Allah not increase them—and they have bad consequences, would you please assign guides and counselors to the schools, advise the administrators of these schools, and guide the students, and so on, to the end of this question?

Answer:
This is true. Recently, His Excellency the Minister of Education issued a good directive and kind words directing the schools and the students in the schools. He urged them greatly to take care of the children, to take care of the prayer, and to take care of Islamic education. He urged them greatly and emphasized this point greatly. Likewise, the Director of Education after him did the same. Without a doubt, we thank him for this. We ask Allah to make these directives beneficial, to increase them in good, to help them fulfill their duty, and to grant success to the teachers, male and female, in adopting these directives and doing what benefits the children in their religion and their worldly affairs. And we, if Allah wills, will not spare any effort with them until good is achieved, if Allah wills, for everyone.
