Six people have been fined between BD1,000 and BD2,000 for running unlicensed educational services, the Lower Criminal Court ruled, according to the Chief of the Ministries and Public Bodies Prosecution.

The case followed referrals from the Education Ministry after field teams visited private institutions across Bahrain.

Inspectors found six centres offering classes without ministry licences.

These centres taught a range of subjects to children aged three to 18. Enrolment at some reached 60.

Inspectors also found that required safety rules for kindergartens had not been met.

Basic preventive steps were missing, safety fittings were poor, and approved child-protection rules were not followed, posing a direct risk to children and staff.
