On identifying these problems SAS have researched in to the specific cases and have come to a conclusion, that a lack of parenting skills play a large role in many cases brought forward to them. To combat this problem within the community the SAS have developed a parenting programme which will be taken around the UK in the form of Parenting Workshops, these workshops will attended by parents, teachers and social works, and will be a chance to develop skills and also communicate on grass-root level within our communities.

CLARIFICATION STATEMENT BY THE KALGIDHAR TRUST-BARU SAHIB Made by Major General R.S.Chhatwal Retd. (Official spokesman of The Kalgidhar Trust, managing Akal Academies): The issue of forcing Hindu students to wear dastar / turbans by Akal Academy has been totally misunderstood & misrepresented with a view to make it look communal. We wish to clarify the following: 1. Wearing of turban is a symbol of Indian pride, honour, tradition, simplicity & modesty. Sikhs wear turban on account of this and many Hindus also wear turbans. For example: Indian leaders like Swami Vivekananda, Lala Lajpat Rai, S. Radhakrishnan (Ex. President of India), Dr. C.V.Raman (Noble Laureate) and Rani Jhansi etc wore turbans. It is a common folklore that says " Pagri di laaj" i.e. 'honour of the turban'. We do not enforce sikh doctrines upon any non-sikh. 2. The wearing of uniform in school brings a sense of equality & upholds discipline values. There are no distinctions between students of different religions, castes & even between boys & girls ( to reduce sexual attraction and bad thoughts). Not a single instance of any teenage harassment of any sort has been reported in any of our schools. This helps to keep students away from distraction & focuses their energies in positive directions and more concentration on studies. That is why rural Akal Academies are producing excellent results outperforming schools from urban areas. 3. Vested interests are trying to make communal issue of a simple implementation of dress regulation of the school. We should negate such nefarious designs of misguided and mischievous elements. We stand by the principles of simple living and high thinking and imparting value-based education, which have led to us producing not only best academic results but also all around development of the children Kalgidhar Trust Uk www.kalgidhartrust.org.uk 07500 430 449
