Free education and girls' schools; new General Education Council formed
The Saudi Council of Ministers issued the executive and regulatory provisions for the General Education System up to the end of the 12th grade, aiming to enhance the quality of the educational environment and regulate the roles of the private and non-profit sectors in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030. The system stipulates the establishment of a General Education Affairs Council, where decisions related to policies and admissions are made. It also includes regulations regarding the qualifications of non-specialist subject teachers, rules for private educational institutions, e-learning, and lifelong education. Furthermore, it emphasizes that education from age six to fifteen is mandatory and free in government institutions, with an emphasis on the Arabic language. It allows for instruction in an additional language and ensures that girls’ schools are organized separately from boys’ schools.
