"The move to redesign the curriculums is intended to meet the challenges of the new world order and is unrelated to the Sept. 11 [2001] terrorist attacks," Abdul Ilah Al Mosarraf, director of planning and evaluation at the Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States, said.
Al Mosarraf said nearly all GCC states have significantly revised their school curriculums. He said Saudi Arabia has removed 31 anti-Western or anti-Christian references from textbooks.
Over the last two years, the United States has sought to work with GCC and other Islamic states to revise their curriculum. GCC officials said the aim of the revisions was to remove material that encouraged Al Qaida doctrine. http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/05/front2453527.038888889.html
