Okaz/Saudi Gazette
RIYADH – The Shoura Council on Tuesday rejected a proposal to establish sports colleges for girls in the Kingdom.
The proposal required at least 76 votes to get passed with a majority but got only 73 votes.
The proposal was presented by three members – Lina Almaeena, Lateefa Al-Shaalan and Ata Al-Subaiti. Lateefa expressed sorrow over the fate of the proposal, saying that "this was the most frustrating day for the Saudi women."
The Council session, chaired by its President Sheikh Abdullah Al-Asheikh, urged the ministry of education to improve the English language teaching in early phases of the school education. It underlined the need for introducing advanced orientation program for the English language teachers and expanding diverse world-class enrichment programs for talented boy and girl students. The Council also called on the ministry to review its policies and strategic goals and programs in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program.
