MOE requires schools to avoid raising school fees

 
 
 

The Ministry of Education's Assistant Undersecretary for Public Education, Osama Al-Sattan, has issued directives to the heads of educational regions and the Religious Education Department to communicate the importance of not burdening students, parents, and teachers with external projects that could result in financial stress, according to Al-Jarida daily.

These directives emphasize that school administrations, educational and administrative staff, students, and their guardians should not be required to undertake or contribute to any tasks or financial obligations beyond their designated responsibilities. Additionally, students and their parents should not be asked, either directly or indirectly, to participate in activities outside their duties or to provide monetary donations.

Furthermore, all educational and school-related needs should be covered using the financial fund account, the school canteen account, or the advances of the scientific departments, adhering to established rules and regulations. The directives also mandate that the phone number (22304303) and a barcode featured on the document be shared through WhatsApp with all relevant parties (parents, educational, and administrative staff), who should then acknowledge receipt by signing with a flag.

Any individual found to be in violation of these directives and previous circulars will face legal consequences. The Ministry has emphasized the importance and urgency of implementing these measures to alleviate financial pressures on students and their families.
