Inspectors clear Saudi school in London

Inspectors have said a satisfactory education is being provided by a Saudi-funded Islamic school in England embroiled in a controversy over textbooks calling other faiths “worthless.” Ofsted, the official evaluation agency of the British government, inspected the King Fahad Academy in London last week. The watchdog’s report said the textbooks cited in the earlier report had been taken out of use. Lesson plans, storerooms, and documentation at the school were examined. The report by Ofsted states: “The school meets all the regulations concerning pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural education.” Read about it at BBC News.
