Parents can face jail in Saudi if their kids remain absent from school for 20 days; Details here
In line with Saudi Arabia's Child Protection Law, parents of schoolchildren may face imprisonment if their children are absent from school without a valid reason for 20 consecutive days, as reported by Gulf News. This measure aims to uphold the quality of education in the country.
According to information from Saudi outlet Makkah, if a student's unexcused absence reaches the 20-day threshold, their parent or guardian could become the subject of an inquiry by the public prosecution under the Child Protection Law. Following the investigation, the case will be referred to a court, where a judge will have the authority to decide on an appropriate jail term for the parent if found guilty of negligence regarding their child's school attendance.
The legal procedure against parents of absent students involves several stages, as outlined in Gulf News. Initially, the school principal is mandated to report the case to the relevant education department, which will initiate an inquiry. Subsequently, the country's Education Ministry takes over the proceedings. A family care department then conducts an inquiry into the student's absence to determine its underlying cause.
Following these stages, the parent or guardian may be subjected to investigation by the prosecution before the case is eventually brought to court.
