Qatar school bans teachers from getting pregnant

Should it be against the law for teachers to get pregnant? Apparently that is the rule at at least one school in Qatar, where teachers are being told not to get pregnant because it will affect their performance.

Teachers, not surprisingly, are rebelling against this doctrine, saying ""Maybe she should provide us with contraceptive pills to prevent us from getting pregnant," and that she should "make arrangements for us to stay in the school and not to go to our homes, so that we can be fully dedicated and devoted to the school...the principal is crazy and wants to run the school as if it were her private company and without regard for laws and rights,"

The principal of an Independent School in Qatar has asked teachers not to get pregnant to avoid negative effects on their performance. The school was this year upgraded from semi-independent to full-fledged Independent School, a status that called for outstanding results under an official plan to boost education standards. According to a report in Qatari daily The Peninsula, the principal told the staff that she refused to accept new applications from pregnant teachers even the ones who were employed by the school when it was semi-independent, but had to re-apply under the new school status.
