(Brussels Times) Selam College, an Islamic school planning to open its doors in September, has not received provisional recognition.
This was decided on Friday by Flemish Education Minister Hilde Crevits on the basis of the education inspection opinion and of a competent governmental agency’s proposal.
The school has sparked controversy in recent months in Genk. The Belgian Islamic Federation, that has ties with Milli-Goru, the Turkish Islamic movement, wants to establish an Islamic institution, a project that had quickly sparked opposition from the N-VA and Vlaams Belang parties.
At the request of education inspection, State Security conducted a survey on Lectio, the association that had applied for recognition of the school.
