AIEducational researcher Hanan Khayyat has said that Saudi education is entering a new phase aimed at building an integrated system.
In an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, she explained that this new phase is centered on the student, with teachers as essential partners and the labor market as one of the main drivers of development.
She added that success will not come simply from having a specific system or curriculum, but when students find learning more beneficial and enjoyable, teachers feel they have the time and tools to teach, parents experience stability and reassurance about the educational path, and schools gain greater decision-making power and the ability to assess performance.
Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan recently affirmed that teachers participating in in-person programs will leave at the end of the school day according to each school's approved schedule, noting that the ministry is working to develop the education system through training and professional development plans targeting educational staff.
