File confirms 'deviant' curricula
2005-04-02
The Council of Ministers recently submitted a file containing 25 documents to Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Rasheed Al-Hamad, criticizing the school curricula which urges violence, promotes sectarianism and opposes other religions. Education sources told the Arab Times the decision of the minister to reform a panel to revise the curricula is in reaction to the file which was submitted to him two weeks ago. The source said responsible officials of the ministry felt embarrassed because they had earlier said the school curricula neither encourages extremism nor incites terrorism. The source added the very fact the committee has been reformed is an evidence the former committee which wanted to prove that it has distanced from sectarianism had failed in its 'mission.' The source also said material criticizing Shiites and accusing other religions of infidelity was found among the school curricula.
