ABHA: At least four officials were sacked Thursday after they were primarily held responsible for the collapse of a school canopy that killed a student and injured several others recently.
Asir Gov. Prince Faisal bin Khaled issued a directive to refer the case and all parties to the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution for further investigations and action.
Fatima Ibrahim Awwad was killed and 27 others were injured on April 28 when the inner shade at the school collapsed while they were taking a test.
Minister of Education Ahmad Al-Isa approved the recommendations of the investigating committee and issued a directive to investigate reasons behind the canopy at the school in Mahayil in Asir.
The committee recommend to terminate the services of Mahayil education director, director of buildings and director of operating and maintenance in the governorate and the school principal.
The committee recommended the withdrawal of approving material and executive schemes of educational directorates. Building directorates should be linked to education directorates from a technical point of view.
Social media commentators approved of the government steps, with people saying that this is the time of determination and decisiveness, with a number of hashtags about the results of investigations and orders issued by the Ministry of Education.
