The cleric Ahmad said the move violated the private schools law which, he said, bans gender mixing.

"When I received no reply, I went to court," he said.
Last month Deputy Education Minister Noural al-Fayez -- the country's first-ever female minister -- said female teachers would be allowed to teach boys at grades 1-3 in private elementary schools only.
Ahmad, who lectures at the Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, said the move violated the private schools law which, he said, bans gender mixing.
He also alleged it was part of a "liberal scheme" to eventually push through mixing in all schools, the report said.
