Saudi- MoE fixes private school fees
(MENAFN- Arab News) The Ministry of Education has announced new fees for private and foreign schools and issued instructions to all directorates and governorates across the country for their implementation. The ministry published the fees on its official website to prevent institutions from tampering with the prices.
Ministry officials directed 45 educational directorates to slap the educational institutions that don't abide by the approved school fees with fines of up to SR 5000 for each violation.
As part of the new regulations to manage these private facilities the ministry obliged Saudi investors in foreign schools to segregate boys and girls who will be put in different sections in the school. The ministry gave parents the right to complain against the new school fees and any subsequent increases through a unified complaint form.
Committees formed by education directorates will review these complaints and find out whether the increase has been approved by the ministry or not in order to avoid fraud. Aside from the increased fees schools must also follow other directives like teaching Arabic social studies and religion. The ministry pointed out that education supervisors have been assigned to follow up on the directive and evaluate the performance of teachers in foreign schools owned by Saudi investors.
These schools must hire Saudi citizens to teach such subjects and hold annual competitions in Arabic Language. Saudi investors must now also define the capacity of classes and allow foreign schools to open other branches but only one of such facilities can be opened in each province.
