Two million students return to schools in Mecca and Medina
More than two million male and female students have begun their studies in the Makkah and Madinah regions with the start of the new academic year 1448 AH, following the completion of preparations and field arrangements that included maintenance work, equipment setup, distribution of textbooks, and ensuring transportation. The education departments in both regions confirmed that schools are ready, textbooks have been delivered, and the school discipline plan has been implemented from the first day. The total number of registered students across the Kingdom has exceeded 6.5 million. This comes after a one-week delay for all relevant educational administrations due to the Hajj season circumstances. Thus, the fully in-person return to schools has been completed across all regions of the Kingdom. Additionally, the Ministry of Education announced an additional holiday on October 25, 2026, as part of its plan to organize the educational process and provide rest periods for students and teachers.
