Saudi now Allow women to play sport in public Schools

Here is a huge headline I know it is a big deal for some people and It is a one more step for women opportunity  in Saudi Arabia.  I believe that the saudi women participating in the Olympics in 2012 has an impact on this new regulation. I am totally with women participating in sport activity due to the health issue for women in Saudi Arabia like obesity and diabetes . Forcing class will improve women fitness and healthy life, and there will be a big change in young female daily life.

What others maybe don’t know, women sport is allowed in privet schools, Also privet collages. However, is not really developed system. The sports classes were elective in college and less formal in school. They were like little break to do some games like basketball and volleyball. There were some sports league between female’s schools but as I just mention they were not in big range or between so many schools or teams.

Here is other side of the story, conservative are not rely happy. The reasons why they are not agreed because they are concern that these sport class will not fit with the conservative dress code in school. I understand there point coming from this society. However, I don’t agree with them. In only girls school I don’t think there should be any concerns. It is a change in the society but people will get use to it, they are always afraid from changes thats what Saudi Arabia is facing right know. The whole culture is changing and we are moving to new reforms, and this is part of me being here in the States. The governments sent us to study abroad and learn other languages and come back with whole new perspective to help the country’s development.
