Translator, as per the article:
The school was semi-Independent earlier and has recently acquired the status of a full-fledged Independent School for girls.
But the principal has refused to let pregnant woman teachers continue in their jobs, Al Sharq reported yesterday. These women were employed when the school was quasi-Independent, and had to apply for the job afresh when the school became fully Independent.
and
the human resource law applicable to Independent Schools does have provisions for maternity leave for woman teachers.
What about this?
