RIYADH — The Ministry of Education has instructed all government universities to ensure their students comply with wearing the Saudi official dress while they are in universities and attending lectures.

This directive came in an urgent circular sent by the deputy minister of education for university education to all Saudi public universities.

The ministry emphasized the need for students in all university departments to adhere to the Saudi official uniform and to fully abide by it.

The ministry’s directive came after noticing the tendency on the part of a number of government universities that they are not obliging their students to wear the official Saudi dress.

It was found that some of these universities failed to add the directive to wear official dress in their student discipline charter.
