Maharashtra Minority Commission Chairman Pyare Jiya Khan has called for a comprehensive survey of all minority schools in the state. He has sought collaboration between the State Minority Commission and the State School Education Department to assess and enhance the quality of education at these institutions.

Khan has expressed concern over the declining education standards in many Muslim minority schools, highlighting the adverse effects on students and a pervasive lack of accountability. His call to action follows a recent controversy at an Urdu school in Akola, where a teacher allegedly faced sexual harassment. Khan has also written to State School Education Minister Dadaji Bhuse, recommending the revocation of approval and minority status for the Muslim school in Akola and 21 other schools affiliated with the same trust.
