Bahrain is studying through a special committee a new draft law regulating the work of training institutions, said a senior government official.

Labour Minister Minister Jameel Humaidan said licensing of private training institutions under the new law would be according to the requirements of the labour market, the specialities of job-seekers and categorisation mechanism of the institutions.

He said the new law would integrate supervision and audit work of the ministry and the Quality Assurance Authority for Education and Training.

It would also include financial penalties and allow violating training institutions to modify their statuses, Humaidan told our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej. – TradeArabia News Service
