MPs have approved an urgent proposal to direct the Education Ministry to compel all kindergartens and public and private schools to immediately notify parents in the event of their children’s absence.
The motion, submitted by five MPs, led by Dr Abdulhakeem Al Sheno, comes after the tragic death on Monday of four-year-old Hassan Al Mahari, who was forgotten inside a private, unlicensed vehicle used to transport children to a kindergarten in Demistan .
