MES tries to regain control over school

Kozhikode: The Muslim Educational Society (MES) has decided to initiate steps to regain the administrative control of a school registered under it at Doha in Qatar.

The State committee of the society has suspended 30 governing body members of its Qatar unit for allegedly acting against organisational interests.

The suspended members have been running the school as a private trust for the last several years.

At a news conference here on Wednesday, MES president P.A. Fazal Ghafoor said that activists of the society would stage a demonstration in front of Hyson Heritage at Mavoor Road Junction here on Saturday to press its demand that the control of the school be returned to the society.

Hyson Heritage is owned by P.P. Hyder, a former governing body president of the Qatar school.

He has also been suspended.

Dr. Ghafoor said the issue had been taken up with the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, the State Education Department and the Qatar government.

The school, started in the 1970s, was imparting education to 8,000 students and was one of biggest schools in the Gulf region.
