    Despite attempts by authorities to register the yeshivas where it has been believed many boys were studying, statistics show that seven times as many teen girls as boys in Haredi schools in Hackney, according to the Jewish Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1N6T6QR).

    A 2015 school census shows that 104 boys from 14-16 years old are enrolled in Haredi schools, compared to 721 girls in the same age range. There are 275 girls, age 13, in Haredi schools, while there are just 49 13-year-old boys in Haredi schools.

    The disparate numbers show that more than 800 boys are unaccounted for in the official education system.

    The Department of Education stated no new yeshivas have been registered in the last two years. A DfE spokesperson said it is illegal to run an unregistered school.

    Britain being the country of subjects, not citizens, if you want to properly register your school, you have to teach a certain curriculum, approved her majesty and bunch of other totally irrelevant figure. Fathers who want to raise bnei Torah know that they can’t waste THAT much of their sons’ precious time for such shtus. Thus, the result.

    The limud is excellent in most of the unregistered ones in Stamford Hill and Manchester, so who cares, registered, unregistered?
