Overview of New Dress Code Requirements

The Saudi Ministry of Education has introduced a new policy mandating that teachers wear the national dress, including the "thobe and ghutra or shemagh," from their arrival to departure from school. This initiative aims to bolster national identity and cultural heritage within educational settings.

Updated Policies on School Visits and Photography

Ban on Photography

Photography within schools is now prohibited under the new regulations. This measure is part of a broader effort to enhance security and privacy in educational environments.

Visitor Identification and Documentation

Visitors to schools must adhere to the national dress code, verify their national identity, and obtain prior permission. Their details will be recorded in a special register, and any visitor posing a risk must be reported to relevant authorities.

Procedures for Local Community Visits

Local community visits must be coordinated with the school administration in advance, detailing the visit's objectives and providing the names of all visitors. This process ensures that the safety of students and staff is maintained.
