Saudi education enters new phase focused on integrated system, expert says
Saudi education is entering a new phase centered on students, with teachers as key partners and the job market guiding development, says researcher.
Saudi education is undergoing a transformative phase, according to researcher Hanan Khayyat, who spoke to Al Ekhbariya TV. This new era prioritizes students, with teachers playing a pivotal role and the job market as a primary driver of development.
Khayyat emphasized that success in this educational overhaul won't hinge solely on adopting a specific system or curriculum. Instead, it hinges on students finding learning beneficial and enjoyable, teachers feeling adequately equipped with time and resources, parents experiencing confidence in the educational path, and schools gaining autonomy and performance assessment capabilities.
The Minister of Education, Yousef Al-Benyan, recently confirmed that teachers engaged in face-to-face programs will conclude their workday as per each school's established schedule. He highlighted that the ministry is committed to refining the education system through targeted training and professional development plans for educational staff.
