Saudi Arabia’s Education Ministry has recalled one million notebooks from schools around the kingdom because they contain mistakes including references to the "Persian Gulf," al-Watan newspaper said Wednesday. Arab states call it the "Arabian Gulf."
just who gulf is it anyway.
A map in the notebooks also inaccurately represented Saudi Arabia’s southern border with Yemen, a source of decades of dispute between the two countries which signed a border treaty in 2000, the paper said. It said a senior ministry official had told the agency which produced the books to halt distribution, withdraw those already handed out and explain how it would rectify the errors. |
