Looks like those Saudi social reforms are really charging along, if this article about Regulations for Girls’ Behavior in Schools is any indicator.

The majority of the code deals with students’ behavior at school and the deductions for each violation. It details desirable behavior for girls, including praying on time, wearing hijab and the appropriate school uniform, punctuality and good manners. Violations are divided into five categories with the fifth mandating temporary expulsion.

Girls will be expelled for disrespectful and blasphemous conduct and beliefs; magic; failure to pray; possessing, taking or selling drugs; deviant behavior; dating and having unlawful relations with men or leading others to this behavior; causing permanent injury to members of the school staff; possessing and using weapons and other dangerous items; and if their presence “becomes a danger to the school”.

Violations that make girls liable to point deductions include, in the first category, sleeping in class and using makeup; in the fourth category smoking, making threats and verbal and physical abuse of school staff. Students will receive the full 200 points if they commit no violations; they can regain lost points if their behavior improves.

“These are guidelines for regulating students’ behavior and attendance. They are mandatory and will be enforced,” said Hayat Al-Mutawe, director of the students’ guidance and advice department at the Girls’ Administration. “The goal is to improve and develop the education process based on Islamic principles,” she said.

Points will not be deducted by teachers, Al-Mutawe explained. Rather, there will be a committee in each school, headed by the principal, which will be responsible for applying the regulations case by case and following procedure. “We will conduct intensive awareness campaigns for parents before these regulations are applied,” she said.
