Manama, Feb. 6 (BNA): The Minister of Education, Dr. Muhammad bin Mubarak Juma, approved the new student discipline law for all academic levels in public schools.
The Code includes, for the first time, regulations to address violations committed in virtual classrooms during e-learning, in addition to violations committed during regular classes, trips, events or school activities.
The new system abolished final dismissal from studies or denial of education and replaced them with temporary suspension of participation in activities, events or excursions, and temporary suspension of studies or change of the academic system if the violation is serious.
The law contains other regulations to deal with violations through community services, without depriving students of their right to pursue their education.
The code aims to provide a safe environment during school learning or distance e-learning, and to ensure adherence to moral values, school systems and regulations, and correct behaviors that would promote strong relationships between students, and promote respect, good morals, and appreciation of colleagues, members of the educational and administrative bodies, and all school workers.
The regulations will enable schools to address students’ behavioral problems in an educational manner and mitigate their severity to achieve the correct and proper performance of the educational process.
The code will be distributed to all public schools over the next few days. The new regulations are only mandatory for public schools, but optional for private schools.
