KSA woman minister
Appointment of a woman minister by the Saudi King is a bold step towards ensuring women's development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). But it is most unfortunate that a certain quarter has been spreading some propaganda stating that the first ever appointed minister in the Kingdom is under some restrictions to discharging her duties smoothly. But Ms. Norah Binte Abdullah al-Fayez, deputy education minister for female education affairs, KSA vide a recent statement told that she is under no restrictions to perform her job as a minister.
Deputy Minister Norah al-Fayez who is a King Saud University graduate and a post graduate in Sociology from an American university has cleared her position by affirming that she wishes to remain within her religious norms and cultural values while doing her job as the deputy minister. She expressed her firm hope and conviction that Saudi women would also attain the capability to play an important role in society as per demand of the time by acquiring proper education and training.
