Proposal to establish public schools in Bahrain's Diyar Al Muharraq
Bahrain - A proposal to establish public schools in Diyar Al Muharraq to meet the needs of the people in the area is being spearheaded by two MPs.
It is being led by area MPs Khalid Bu Onk and Hesham Al Awadhi who claim that families in the area would 'greatly benefit' from having a school close to where they live.
The explanatory note submitted with the proposal said that the government should allocate land for the school.
'The Diyar Al Muharraq area has witnessed rapid population growth in recent years,' read the proposal.
'This requires the strengthening of educational infrastructure to keep pace with expansion.
'The absence of public schools in the area forces many families to enrol their children in educational institutions outside the area, causing them to go through daily hardship and traffic congestion.
'Establishment of schools in the area will also contribute towards achieving justice in the distribution of educational services between various old and new urban areas.'
The proposal stated that investing in education in emerging residential communities enhances the quality of life and encourages family stability in the area.
It also claimed that it enhanced the geographical distribution and reduced pressures on existing public schools in neighbouring areas while improving class density.
Diyar Al Muharraq already has land that has been earmarked for services, which gives the opportunity to establish educational projects easily.
The area already contains a number of private educational institutions, but does not have any public schools.
The closest primary and intermediate schools for boys are in Samaheej, while the closest secondary school is in Hidd. As for girls, the closest schools of all levels are in central Muharraq, including the Khadija Al Kubra School, which is the oldest one in the country.
Bahrain has recently been investing in opening new public schools and educational institutions across the kingdom.
The GDN reported on May 24 that a new technical secondary school for boys could be built in Hamad Town after the Northern Municipal Council unanimously approved a proposal by its services and public utilities committee chairman Abdulla Shareeda Al Thawadi.

Simone Inzaghi leaves Inter Milan - what can Al Hilal expect if he takes charge?
Simone Inzaghi has left Inter Milan by mutual consent and is widely expected to take charge of Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal. Following a meeting with Inter officials on Tuesday, Inzaghi decided the time was right to leave the Nerazzurri. His final match was Saturday's 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Uefa Champions League final. After four seasons, Inzaghi, 49, leaves behind a trophy-filled legacy at Inter. During his tenure, the Italian guided the club to a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, and three Supercoppa Italiana triumphs. They twice reached the Champions League final. Renowned for his tactical ingenuity and exceptional man-management skills, Inzaghi is the favourite to fill the vacancy at Al Hilal following Jorge Jesus' sacking last month. Should he take on the job, Inzaghi's first official match in charge will be a high-profile clash against Real Madrid at the Fifa Club World Cup on June 14. What led to his departure? Results can alter perceptions. On Saturday evening, Inzaghi's Inter Milan suffered the ignominy of the heaviest ever defeat in a European Cup final. In a season where Inter were chasing a treble, they finished with no trophies and plenty of regrets. Italian media and pundits were scathing in their analysis of a side that was built to win but that fell at the final hurdle. Just getting to the final was an achievement in itself. But despite the club's cost-cutting, limited squad depth and ageing stars, such is the nature of football; success is celebrated as a collective effort, but in defeat, it's often the coach who becomes the scapegoat. He may have finished his final season without a trophy, but that owed more to the club's overambition than any personal failure on Inzaghi's part. What can Inzaghi bring to Al Hilal? A master of man-management, Inzaghi has earned widespread praise for cultivating a cohesive, squad where players consistently raise their level. Meticulous in his preparation and deeply attentive to player relationships, Inzaghi is often credited with unlocking the full potential of those under his guidance. 'His secret is that sometimes he still thinks like a player, so he understands us really well and lives things the way we do," said Inter captain Lautaro Martínez. 'With Inzaghi, I feel like I've grown to an even higher level.' Marcus Thuram echoed this sentiment: 'He's given me a vision of football where everything you do is meant to achieve something.' Known for his quiet discipline off the pitch, Inzaghi transforms into a fiery presence on the touchline, wildly gesticulating to spur his team forward. Inzaghi's success An immodest Inzaghi once said: 'Wherever I go, revenues increase, losses decrease, and trophies arrive.' The stats certainly back up those claims. Antonio Conte, Inzaghi's predecessor, recorded a win rate of 62.75% during his two seasons at Inter, averaging 2.11 points per game. He led the team to a Serie A title in his second year, backed by substantial investment that saw the club post a net spend of €169 million over that period. Key signings such as Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi were brought in to strengthen the squad. In contrast, Inzaghi took over from Conte amid a period of financial uncertainty. The club was forced to sell several key players, and transfer spending was drastically reduced. Under his tenure, Inter recorded a net profit of €114m in transfers. More importantly, Inzaghi oversaw a sharp rise in revenues, guiding the team to two Champions League finals that generated over €300m for the club. On the pitch, he averaged 2.15 points per game across four seasons – surpassing Conte's rate – and achieved a higher overall win percentage. At his previous club Lazio, Inzaghi gradually developed a competitive squad, culminating in a final season where they led the Serie A table up to March 1, 2020. However, following the league's suspension due to Covid and subsequent restart, the team faltered and ultimately finished fourth. Nonetheless, under Inzaghi, Lazio won the Coppa Italia and two Supercoppas. They have not won a trophy since. Tactics Inzaghi's tactical approach blends structure with purposeful attacking play. It's a style of football rooted in control that goes beyond mere possession. Inzaghi favours direct vertical play. Transitions are seamless, allowing the team to shift from defence to attack in a matter of moments, often catching opponents unbalanced. His sides look to move quickly through midfield, exploiting gaps behind the defence with sharp, incisive passing and intelligent forward movement. This calculated approach makes Inzaghi's sides difficult to defend against. His wing-backs are crucial, often tasked with advancing into wide attacking zones, stretching opposition lines. Defensively, his teams maintain a compact, resilient shape. The 3-5-2 morphs into a 5-3-2 when defending, with wing-backs dropping deep to support a solid central block that's tough to penetrate. Inzaghi's philosophy is that his team always adapts to the moment. At times, they press aggressively, eager to win back possession; at others, they are content to drop deep and concede the ball. This confidence in shifting their approach is one of Inzaghi's defining hallmarks. Conclusion Al Hilal can expect a meticulous, detail-driven manager with a strong desire to win. How Inzaghi adapts to life in the kingdom remains to be seen. He has neither coached outside Italy nor speaks Arabic. But throughout his career, Inzaghi has consistently risen to every challenge. Given their disappointing 2024/25 season, in which they finished second and won no trophies, Inzaghi could be a perfect fit.

Dubai: Gold prices drop after hitting nearly 4-week high
Gold prices dropped in Dubai on Wednesday morning after hitting a nearly four-week high on Tuesday. The 24-carat variant of the precious metal was trading at Dh404.5 per gram, down from around Dh406 per gram yesterday as it jumped over Dh10 to hit a nearly four-week high. Similarly, 22-carat, 21-carat and 18-carat dropped to Dh374.5, Dh355 and Dh307.75 per gram, respectively. Spot gold was steady at $3,354.59 per ounce, up 0.07 per cent, as traders were jittery about the US-China trade deal. Rania Gule, senior market analyst for Mena at said gold is currently experiencing notable volatility, with prices touching levels near $3,400 per ounce before retreating slightly at the start of trading on Tuesday. 'This pullback does not necessarily reflect a weakening of bullish momentum, but rather a short technical pause in an overall upward trajectory still fuelled by several key factors, most notably escalating trade tensions, geopolitical developments, and potential shifts in US Federal Reserve policy. Gold continues to hold strong appeal as a hedging asset, and the current declines may represent medium-term buying opportunities rather than the start of a downward reversal,' she said. 'The pivotal event sparking fresh market anxiety was former President Donald Trump's announcement of plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50 per cent, a move that has reignited fears of a full-blown trade war with China and potentially other trading partners. "Markets are not only reacting to the numbers but also to the political messaging behind such actions — this is where the real risk lies. The uncertainty surrounding international trade relations is naturally boosting demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, even if prices temporarily dip due to fluctuations in the US dollar," added Gule.
