(Dutch News) Education minister Arie Slob has told an Islamic secondary school in Amsterdam that the entire board must step down, or the government will halt all funding.
It [is] extremely rare for a government minister to intervene directly in a school.
The Cornelius Haga Lyceum has been at the centre of a major row about business malpractice and fundamentalist indoctrination and the city council had earlier threatened the school with funding cuts.
“I am extremely concerned about the situation facing the pupils,” Slob said on Monday. “All children deserve good education in a safe environment. That is why there needs to be a new board.”
