  "account": "The Social Entrepreneurship Competition for Secondary Schools, organized by Nama, the Social Development Centre, aims to cultivate innovation and social responsibility among students, according to Mohammed al-Kadi, an official from the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE). Al-Kadi stated that the competition reflects the ministry's belief that education extends beyond classroom knowledge, promoting deeper thinking, innovation, accountability, and societal contribution. The inaugural edition, launched in 2025, welcomed participation from 31 secondary schools, both boys and girls. Over 120 students engaged in the training workshops provided by Nama, with six schools advancing to the final stage - three boys' schools and three girls' schools. The official emphasized that the true value of this experience lies not in the quantity, but in the creativity, talent, and conscious energy displayed by the students. They transformed personal observations of issues within their schools and communities into projects with real-world impact and value. Winning projects ranged from environmental sustainability to assistive technology, student safety, and enhancing school transport. Al-Kadi highlighted that MoEHE is keen on providing similar opportunities to students through cooperation with various entities and institutions, encouraging programmes and initiatives that help discover talent, develop skills, and relate students' learning to societal needs. He expressed confidence that the new edition will yield more ideas and projects, allowing students to work collaboratively, discover their capabilities, and devise innovative solutions to real-world problems and challenges.",
