Bahrain: Private schools must ensure educational materials do not breach values, laws

The Ministry of Education issued a circular to all private educational institutions regarding their responsibility to monitor and follow up on the digital educational activities and materials that are not within the curriculum approved by the Ministry and provided to the students.

The circular requested private educational institutions to make sure that the information and images posted online do not conflict with the Education Law, licensing terms, the Education Ministry's instructions and community values before recommending their use by students.

This is following a warning to a private school, whose KG class material included some images that are not appropriate for Bahraini social values.
