Vienna, (IINA) - Saudi students sometimes face racial discrimination in around six European universities, Arab News reported citing Saudi Cultural Attache in Austria Ali bin Abdullah bin Saqr.
Discrimination was one major problem faced by 600 Saudi students studying in the universities of Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Slovenia, an online newspaper quoted Saqr as saying.
He has advised Saudi students to stay away from protests, demonstrations and other places where they might encounter danger.
He also noted that the cultural attache’s office and the staff in the Saudi embassies deal with the problems of racial discrimination, if and when they arise.
Saqr said that the cultural attache’s office had recently noticed that police in the Czech Republic had become strict about granting and renewing residence permits, noting that the Saudi embassy was trying to resolve the issues.
Bin Saqr mentioned that the admission offices of the universities provided assistance to the office of the cultural attache, which looks after Saudi students in the six countries. He did, however warn students against bypassing the attache’s office in matters related to education.
Many countries such as Hungary have expressed willingness to take more Saudi students but there have been some problems in Austria, Saqr added.
