(Dutch News) Islamic organisations in the Netherlands have called on the board of Amsterdam’s only Islamic high school to resign following claims by the security service that members of the board had links to terrorist organisations.
Six organisations, including the Islamic school organisation ISBO, have urged the board to stand down. “We note that individual interests are being placed above the importance of ensuring good, Islamic secondary education,” the letter said.
A great deal of effort has been put into improving standards at Islamic schools in recent years and a growing number are now classed as “excellent” by inspectors, the organisations pointed out.
The Cornelius Haga Lyceum leaders should therefore resign in the interests of the school’s pupils and the children of Amsterdam, the letter said.
