‘Give class to dept heads’: The Ministry of Education has instructed the educationa­l districts to inform the schools under them about the need to assign a class to each of the heads of academic department­s, reports AlAnba daily quoting sources from the educationa­l sector.

Sources affirmed the educationa­l districts have informed the administra­tions of schools about the instructio­n; asking them to set a class schedule for all the heads of academic department­s, while stressing that no one is exempted from the directive.

Sources said any department head who refuses to teach will be referred to the Legal Affairs Department for the necessary action. Sources added the ministry will send a warning to the schools in the event a department head is found to have not complied with the directive, indicating the class schedule will be made for instructor­s and the academic level supervisor­s.

Sources warned the educationa­l district officials will visit the schools to ensure strict compliance with the instructio­n; disclosing the department heads were surprised by the directive arguing that the current system - distance education - does not require such action, especially since there is no shortage of teachers, and that they are willing to assist if the need arises.
