Education expert highlights key skills for summer programs

Education consultant Dr. Fares Al-Malki said the concept of summer programs has changed significantly, with greater emphasis now placed on investing in the future and building character, alongside a range of essential skills that these programs should prioritize.

Speaking in a phone interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Malki explained that future skills now include investment in artificial intelligence and digital technologies, as well as life skills such as teamwork and collaboration. He also stressed the importance of discipline, noting that if, by the end of the summer, a student is more confident, better able to learn, and more capable of creating opportunities, this represents the true success of a summer program.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Saykhan said the most important aspects of summer programs are their comprehensive approach, inclusion of entertainment, and focus on self-development. He added that effective supervision and guidance are crucial, especially as adolescents require direction during these programs.
