interrogative article
1 min read

The education policy and approach in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are based on several general principles that are grounded in the Islamic religion and the prophetic mission. Thus, religious sciences are fundamental at all stages of general education, as is the case with Islamic culture in university education. There is also an emphasis on instilling high ideals that support the establishment of a sound human civilization.

The Arabic language is the medium of instruction in all subjects and stages of general education, except in international school systems. The Ministry of Education works to provide growth opportunities for all students, enabling them to contribute to community development. The ministry also focuses on balancing science and practical application with technology, linking the educational process to the goals of development and Vision 2030. Additionally, the Ministry of Education takes into account the objectives of the different stages of education, each stage according to the growth characteristics and age group of the students in that stage.
