Parents have been warned against purchasing printed study materials from unauthorised individuals or shops across the kingdom.
The Education Ministry yesterday said government schools were not allowed to sell study materials or ask parents to purchase them from specific stores or libraries.
Any study materials prepared by teachers should either be printed and circulated amongst students for free, or a link be provided so the notes can be printed at home as desired by parents or students, the ministry said.
“Materials prepared personally by teachers are appreciated by educational bodies, and may be useful for daily review and study for those students who wish to do so, but they are not mandatory, and must not be solely relied upon for examinations,” the ministry clarified.
“This is because the basic elements of student evaluation depend on what is provided to them from the textbook or other officially approved material.”
Officials have been monitoring shops and libraries that have been reported to print and sell such notes to students and parents, without the school or ministry’s approval.
The printing and selling of such notes is a violation of the ministry’s regulations and guidelines, and legal measures will be taken against suspected perpetrators.
Parents have been urged to report violations of these rules by emailing whistleblowing@moe.gov.bh.
