Does anyone out there have the correct figures for confirmed swine flu students in Kuwait private schools?

Today KUNA printed this :

'On Sunday, parents reportedly withdrew their children from a primary school in the Nahdha area after receiving reports of existing A(H1N1) cases among students and teachers.

Sources close to the Ministry of Education have intimated that a Kuwaiti female teacher, who is suspected to have had contracted the disease, was asked to stay away from school until she��s examined.''

One school, ATIS in Sabah al Salem closed a class of year 4s on Wednesday and there are 9 confirmed cases there.

I heard KES has 6 and ASK 4, CES Hawalli 7.

Think we need to get this info out there as some schools are saying there are NO confirmed cases which is downright stupid.

There are several cases at ATIS. The year 4 class has since been re-opened.

One school director was overheard preventing her principal on Wednesday from informing parents that there was a case in the school.

I think parents have a right to know if there are cases in the school and also if there are any teachers infected.

Rommel where are you by the way? teaching elem or high school?

Not surprising, given their track record. Education takes a big back seat to the dinar.

I'm in elem.
