I'd better say "The director has scheduled a meeting with the minister for the next Friday."

"The director is scheduled" means that someone has scheduled the director, which makes no sense.

"To schedule to" in my opinion is incorrect. You schedule something. For instance, a meeting.

Hi victor,
Where in the original sentence do you get an understanding of who has scheduled this meeting?

Barbara, I've just reread the original sentence and realized that there was
no mentioning of who's scheduled the meeting, so it appears that I was
wrong. I probably took the passive voice in the original sentence for a
grammatical error and took my own sentence as the original one

I thought maybe you had magic glasses! [H]

Nah, yesterday I had a fever. Probably, it was the reason.

Thank you for your help !!!!!!!

Have a good weekend
