According to Al-Anba daily quoting educational sources, students should attend classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays before and after Eid Al-Fitr.

Sources stressed the need for parents to cooperate with school administrations and urge their children to attend classes. Sources warned that the rules and regulations regarding absences are applied strictly, especially during the above-mentioned days.

Sources said there will be no makeup classes for students who are absent during those days, pointing out their academic achievement will be affected in case they are absent without a valid excuse. Sources clarified that the students already lost many class days due to the unstable weather conditions recently, so there will be no compensation for those who are absent before and after the holiday.

Sheikh Salem Al-Abdullah, Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently made a decision for 122 employees to be transferred from the public jobs group to the special, diplomatic and consular jobs group, reports Al-Anba daily.

Diplomats and consular attachés are the positions of the transferred employees, according to sources.
