She said that "parents will be received as of next Sunday until Nov. 12," adding that "no applications will be entertained after that period."
On the other hand, the Assistant Undersecretary for Private Education Fahd AlـGhais said that the ministry had agreed to the idea of reopening KG2s but only if they operate on the American system as well as bilingual schools. The official urged all concerned private schools to comply with these instructions, adding that "failure to do so would prompt legal measures against the foreign schools found in violation of the ministry''s instructions to this effect."
