School students to be taught morality from a textbook

The government will reportedly introduce a new textbook to teach morality at schools across the country with the start of the new academic year in September. The new textbook is part of a wider effort to “clamp down on religious extremism,” by teaching students about “good behavior and tolerance,” says the Arab Weekly, adding that the textbook was prepared by the Religious Endowments Ministry and has reportedly been approved by Al Azhar.
