Moe To Take Action Against Private Schools Not Paying Salaries

Ministry of Education (MoE) has warned that legal measures will be taken against all private schools that have not paid the salaries of their employees, reports Al-Anba daily. In a circular sent to the representatives of all private schools, the Assistant Undersecretary for Private Education in the ministry Dr. Abdel Mohsen Al-Huwaila said teachers of private schools are entitled to receive salaries based on the private sector labor law No. 6/2010, and the amount determined under employment contracts when there are no classes including during the summer vacation.

He affirmed that the ministry represented by the private education sector will initiate legal procedures, and coordinate with the Public Authority for Manpower to take the measures against those schools that have proved to not have paid the wages of their teachers.

This is aimed to avoid breaching the rights of the workers in private schools specified under the labor laws of the private sector, and the ministry has the right to enforce administrative closure of the schools that fail to abide by the labor laws.
