KSA Female university students now allowed to use their phone
Things are changing very fast in KSA as now female students are permitted to use their phone in universities.
This campaign was launched on social media ( Twitter, Facebook) seeking to lift the ban on the use of mobile phones inside university premises.
Saudi Gazette reportRIYADH - Education Minister Ahmed Al-Issa has directed all universities in the Kingdom to allow female students to use mobile phones inside the premises, according to Al-Hayat newspaper on Tuesday.
The announcement follows complaints from student and their parents, said the minister.
At least seven universities had mobile phone bans on female students and were confiscating devices, according to the ministry.
Al-Issa described inspection of students at entry points searching for mobile phones as unjustified and said it often delayed students from attending their classes.
Mubarak Al-Osaimi, the ministry’s spokesperson, told Okaz, "The resolution includes all higher education institutions across the country, both public and private."
