There are many religions and many languages spoken making a unified educational system difficult. Girls are likely to receive less education than boys and children living in rural areas are less likely to have access to education. Despite the challenges to educational access, India is using technology from its space program to give children in remote areas access to educational programming because citizens understand education is the key to escaping poverty.

According to Britannica, “The Arabic term islam, literally “surrender,” illuminates the fundamental religious idea of Islam—that the believer (called a Muslim, from the active particle of islam) accepts surrender to the will of Allah (in Arabic, Allah: God).” The Prophet Muhammad delivered the scripture, Qur’an, which Allah revealed to his messenger. ]]> 2019-04-30 14:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lb929/7ryacxht8573/wish/355470241 mln55 https://padlet.com/lb929/7ryacxht8573/wish/355472888 Those who follow Hinduism believe it is a way of life more than a religion alone.
