Over 100,000 students return to Northern Borders schools as academic year begins

With the commencement of the 1448-1449 academic year, over 100,000 students returned to their classrooms in Northern Borders schools. General Directorate of Education in the Northern Borders region welcomed pupils across various levels of general education, signaling the beginning of a new academic year. The region's educational system encompasses general education schools, gifted student schools, central schools, and programs catering to students with disabilities.

These diverse learning environments reflect the Ministry of Education's commitment to delivering a comprehensive educational experience that caters to students' needs and elevates educational standards.

Northern Borders Education Directorate boasted that all necessary preparations had been made to accommodate the influx of students. School buildings and facilities were brought up to standard, maintenance, operations, and cleaning tasks were completed, and the availability of educational equipment and supplies was verified. Teaching and administrative staff, school transport, and support services were also fully prepared to facilitate a seamless start to the academic year.

These arrangements are an integral part of the Ministry of Education's "We Write a Story" back-to-school campaign, which seeks to equip students and their families with the information and resources required for a successful new academic year. The campaign emphasizes school schedules, attendance, discipline, and the creation of a safe and stimulating educational environment that fosters academic success.
