Representative Fatima Salim, a member of the House of Representatives, announced that she has prepared a new draft law to be submitted to Counselor Dr. Hanafi Jabali, Speaker of the House in the third session, regarding the criminalization of “interview” of private and international schools.
In the explanatory note to the draft law, Salim said that the recent period has witnessed the spread of a dangerous social phenomenon that threatens the stability of the spirit of competition, love and equality within society, which is the announcement of private and international schools about some of the requirements that parents must meet in order for their children to be accepted in those schools, which are considered A crime of discrimination, and it contradicts the provisions of the constitution and international conventions, and it includes a condition that the student’s parents obtain a high qualification, as well as the ability to speak foreign languages efficiently, which makes it, like a “body reveal.”
She said that depriving any person of entering any of the private or international schools because the father or mother did not obtain a high qualification is a grave violation of all international constitutions and covenants that must be confronted with a deterrent punishment, and the Education Law No. 139 of 1981 and its amendments by Law No. 16 of 2019 It did not include any texts related to those requirements, and the Convention against Discrimination in Education, which was adopted by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in December 1960, and which entered into force in May 1962, affirms the principle of non-discrimination.
