I. PRESENTATION OF THE PROBLEM AND FORMULATION OF
HYPOTHESES
Burundi, located in the heart of Africa, is a small country of Central Africa more precisely in
the African Great Lakes Region with an area of 27384 km². The neighboring countries are,
Rwanda in the North, Tanzania in South-East and Democratic Republic of Congo in the West.
The capital city of Bujumbura in the west of the country.
Currently, the Burundian population is about 11 million, 95% of whom live in the countryside.
The majority of the population of Burundi is made up of young people who are 60% of the
population today.
At the level of the administration, Burundi is subdivided into eighteen provinces namely:
Bubanza, Bujumbura Mairie, Bujumbura, Bururi, Cankuzo, Cibitoke, Gitega, Karuzi, Kayanza,
Kirundo, Makamba, Muyinga, Muramvya, Mwaro, Ngozi, Rumonge, Ruyigi, Rutana ,. Each
Province is subdivided into communes which, in turn, are subdivided into zones. These include
the Hills which are subdivided into other basic administrative units called Ubucimbiri '' subhills
''.
Its economy is based mainly on agriculture whose main export products are coffee and tea.
Burundi is a member of the East African Community, the official languages are French,
Kirundi, English and Swahili.
From a religious point of view, the government of Burundi recognizes many religions registered
in the Ministry of the Interior and Patriotic Formation and governed by the same law as civil
society organizations, these religions can be grouped into two categories namely: Christian
churches and Islam. Differences related to belief have a great influence on everyday practices
that can contribute to the building of one's life. This concept of belief associated with culture
has long been instrumental in promoting gender inequality for men in general.
At the level of Islam it is the worst from the point of view of education because the schooling of
the Muslim girl is still at a very low rate despite extra efforts made by different Organisation in
recent years to promote the schooling of the Muslim girl.
At the global level, in Africa and even in Burundi, the confusion, distortion and uncertainty
concerning the status of Muslim women are numerous and widespread. They are most often the
result of ignorance, traditions or a misunderstanding or interpretation of the Islamic texts thus
hindering the schooling of the Muslim girl.
Instead Islam has honored the woman and granted her many rights, including the right to
education.
"Abou Bourda reports from his father that the Prophet said:" Every man who, having a slave
girl, instructs her and gives her a good education, educates her and gives her a good education,
then give her freedom and marry her, will have a double reward ... "(Reported by al Bukhari).
What is recommended for a slave is even more than his own daughter.

In this hadeeth, the distinction is made between educating and instructing as well as the
difference between educating and giving a good education and instructing and giving a good
instruction. It is not therefore an education or an instruction of any kind but of quality that is the
best one. "
The Prophet also showed the importance of women's education by dedicating a day of the week
for their instruction.
"Read, in the name of your Lord who created, who created the man of a grip. Really Your Lord
is the Most Noble, who taught man what he did not know. "
Surah 96, Al 'Alaq (Adherence), verses 1 to 5
In addition, Burundi has embarked on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), the second objective of which is to ensure primary education for all, hence free basic
education in our country. .
Despite this, our hypothesis is that the schooling of the Muslim girl remains at a critical rate
from where AICNDH conducted an inquiry to the Islamic communities of Bujumbura capital
city and other provinces such as MUYINGA and RUMONGE. This presents report that
concerns with the presentation and publication of the results of this inquiry whose objectives
were:
1. To know the number of children of basic school age who study in the Islamic
communities surveyed;
2. to specify the drop-out rate of Muslim girls and boys in the Islamic communities
surveyed;
3. To know the reasons why Muslim girls and boys drop out their studies in these
communities;
4. Estimate the number of school reintegrations of Muslim girls and boys;
5. Reassure if the Islamic community knows the consequences of school dropping out.
II. METHODOLOGY OF THE SURVEY
The methodology adopted by AICNDH was that of the elaboration and use of a questionnaire
which is one of the three main methods for studying psycho sociological facts.
It is a method of gathering information in order to understand and explain the facts. The other
two most commonly used methods are maintenance and observation. If the interview and
observation are individual and collective methods, the questionnaire is a method that is only
collective. It is a quantitative method that applies to a set (sample) that must allow statistical
inferences.
It is the number of elements in the set that ensures the validity of the questionnaire and allows
the information obtained to be deemed reliable. On the other hand, in an observation or
interview, quality is the criterion of relevance.

Thus, this methodology allowed AICNDH to lead and conduct an inquiry in the Islamic
communities of three provinces that is Bujumbura capital city, Muyinga (especially in Muyinga
Commune and Butihinda) and Rumonge.
AICNDH questionnaire contained open and closed questions.
Strategic objectives of the inquiry
The purpose of this inquiry was to:
1) To know the number of children of basic school age who study in the Islamic
communities surveyed;
2) To specify the school drop-out rate of Muslim girls and boys in the Islamic families
surveyed;
3) To know the reasons that push Muslim girls and boys to drop out their studies in these
families;
4) Estimate the number of school reintegration of Muslim girls and boys;
5) To be reassured if the Islamic community knows the consequences of school dropouts.
Process of the inquiry
The inquiry was conducted in the Islamic communities of Bujumbura Capital city, Muyinga(
especially in Muyinga Commune and Butihinda )and Rumonge center. Before beginning the
inquiry, the investigator had to first submit a letter of request for authorization to the governor
of the province concerned or the Mayor of the city, who in turn had to respond with written
correspondence. No negative response was observed.
The interviewer was always accompanied by the district or hill chief to facilitate his
introduction to the respondents.
A total of twelve investigators and three supervisors were deployed in the Islamic communities
cited above to conduct this inquiry. To facilitate the work, the investigators had to bring at least
30 questionnaires and informed consent prepared in advance by AICNDH. The content of this
letter was: "greeting, presentation and purpose of the inquiry: to know the number of children
reached basic school age, to know the number of school drop-outs in order to reintegrate them
if possible but also to integrate those who have not started studying yet. "
As part of our investigation, 300 questionnaires were completed. All the investigators reported
that the respondents always responded freely and did not cause any obstacle to the conduct of
the survey. No accidents were observed during the two days (from 16 to 17 November 2018)
that the investigation lasted.
The inquiry was conducted in a good socio-political mood.

IV. RESULTS INTERPRETATION
1. Discussion of the results
After analyzing the data, it was found that in the three hundred households surveyed, 2,136
children, of which 1213 (56.7%) girls and 923 (53.3%) boys, were identified as having a basic
school age (from 6 to 15 years). Among them 2130 (99.7%) have already attended school of
which 627 (29.4%) abound, no reintegration. Note that 6 or 0.3% have never attended school.
In the Islamic communities surveyed, the number of girls of basic school age is much higher
than the number of boys in all three surveyed areas. The dropout rate is generally very high in
the Islamic community. The number of girls dropping out far exceeds that of boys. In general,
all drop-out girls and boys are observed from the fourth cycle of the basic school that is to say
from seventh to ninth grade. The main factor in early school leaving is early marriage, which is
the main reason why Muslim girls leave school. Notwithstanding the factors differ from one
zone to another according to the economic activity which is practiced there, it is about the craft
in the zone of Buyenzi, the fishing in the municipality of the province of Rumonge and the
deposit mining in Butihinda commune of Muyinga province, as well as the misinterpretation of
Islamic texts, which has been noted as a common factor in all surveyed areas.
In the 300 households surveyed, only three quarters are aware of the consequences of dropping
out of school while early marriage has been cited as a serious consequence.
2. Criticism of the investigation
Although the survey was well conducted without incident, household surveys are few in
number if one refers to the size of the Islamic community, so this prevents generalizing the
results for the entire Islamic community. If the means would allow a survey of national scope
proves essential to reassure the situation, the reasons and the consequences of school dropout
throughout the Islamic community of Burundi to intervene if necessary.
3. Scope of results
Even if there is no comparative study or interdenominational research that the AICNDH has
conducted or is at its disposal, it is quite obvious that the dropout rate is much more pronounced
in the Islamic community of Burundi than in other religious denominations.
The results will enable the AICNDH, the religious leaders of the Islamic community of
Burundi, the Government of Burundi, non-governmental organizations, civil society and any
person animated in good faith to intervene each in his / her own interest. to reduce or even
eradicate the drop-out rate of Muslim girls and boys.
4. Conclusion and recommendation
The survey showed that 29.5% of Muslim boys and girls fail to finish basic school. Of those
who give up 69.6% are Muslim girls. So our hypothesis is confirmed: "the rate of schooling of
the Muslim girl remains low despite the efforts of the government to ensure basic free for all.
The main reasons for Muslim girls to drop out of school are: early marriage, which is normally
allowed in Islam, as well as ignorance of the importance of schooling.

Recommendation:
a. AICNDH would like to call on Muslim girls to change their behavior so that
they can complete their studies instead of innocently using early marriage;
b. AICNDH would like to challenge Muslim parents to change their minds and let
their daughters complete their studies instead of pushing them to use early
marriage which is normally dangerous for the health of the bride;
c. For Muslim religious leaders AICNDH urges them to stimulate their faithful to
promote the schooling of the Muslim girl as a cure for early marriage;
d. To civil society organizations and the government, the AICNDH calls on them
to multiply sensitization workshops on the importance of the schooling of the
girl in general, and of the Muslim girl in particular.
