Education Ministry Sets Strict Rules to Curb Student Misbehaviour
Bullying in public schools, whether in class or online, can now lead to suspension under a new code issued by the Ministry of Education. Schools must also make up for any lessons missed during the suspension period. The three-day suspension limit applies to serious breaches of conduct, under rules introduced by Education Minister, His Excellency Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma. The changes apply to all year groups in public schools. Private schools are not the previous version from 2017, which also applied to private education, the new code focuses solely on public schools. That earlier decision replaced disciplinary rules for intermediate and secondary levels, as well as primary stage regulations from 2010. The updated rulebook spells out how schools must deal with are grouped into four tiers. The most severe include acts such as sexual harassment, bringing in drugs or weapons, impersonating another pupil, forging school documents, or stirring unrest on campus. Bullying, whether verbal, symbolic or physical, is listed among the serious rules cover incidents in classrooms, over video calls, or during official trips, whether in person or online. Misconduct Other misconduct includes recording classmates without consent, damaging school property, sharing login credentials, cheating, and having others complete assignments. These fall into the third tier. The rules make clear that a suspension does not exempt schools from their teaching duties. Any missed time must be made up through lessons, assigned work or activities. Disciplinary steps must take into account the pupil's age, maturity, personal circumstances and behaviour history. Additional care is expected in cases involving pupils with learning needs or those facing hardship at home. Minor breaches, such as being late, skipping class, failing to wear the proper uniform, or appearing in an unpresentable manner, fall into the first tier. Teachers may begin with a warning, then write to parents, assign corrective tasks, restrict access to activities or, where applicable, shift the pupil to home learning. Verbal abuse Second-tier offences include verbal abuse, refusing to follow online learning rules, leaving school without permission, smoking, spreading rumours or bringing in banned devices or medication. These are met with stricter responses. Each school must set up a disciplinary committee at the start of the year, chaired by the headteacher and comprising four staff members, one of whom must be a social worker. This group conducts investigations, proposes responses and submits its findings to the local education directorate. The ministry may assign a representative to attend or take part in proceedings.

School lessons now include baby care and budgeting!
Want to learn how to take care of babies, manage a family budget, and help out at home? Well, guess what? These are now part of school lessons! Starting in Grade 4, students are learning 'family education' with two fun lessons each week. Children will get to try everyday tasks like washing dishes, managing water use, and keeping their room tidy. As they progress, children will even learn how to care for babies, including feeding, bathing, and taking care of them, plus how to manage money—like saving and spending wisely. 'We want to help kids grow into responsible, caring people who can make strong and loving families,' says Education Minister Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma in a written reply to Shura Council member Dr Fatima Abduljabbar Al Koohiji. 'By the time you're in secondary school, you'll learn even more! You'll discover how to make budgets, support mothers during pregnancy, and learn important skills like changing diapers, helping babies sleep safely, and cutting down on family expenses.' These lessons are part of subjects like Islamic Education, Arabic, and Social Studies, so you can understand how families work, how to share responsibilities, and how to treat everyone fairly. 'Everyone in a family, whether they're young or old, has rights and responsibilities,' says Juma. Dr Al Koohiji had asked what the Ministry was doing to equip young people with the skills to manage family life, and how teachers were being trained for it. To support this, the Ministry has launched training for teaching staff, including induction for new recruits and retraining for others. New teachers are getting extra help, and other teachers are learning new ways to support students who might have challenges at home. The Ministry is also working with special organizations to make sure all teachers have the best training to teach these important life skills. So, get ready to learn all these amazing skills in school, and become a family expert!
