How can Saudi Arabia Improve Education?

Even though Saudi Arabia evolved and improved in every single thing, there are still some things that need to be changed which also includes their education system because they are still a little behind every other country in their educational system.

As much as, the country is rich they can easily make changes in whatever programs they want to and that is why they should focus on this platform too.

They are capable of making any kind of changes because they have a lot of resources, and they will not have to deal with any financial crisis.

Education has been a key factor in Saudi Arabia for a very long time, and it has become the main recipient of funding for the government. In recent times the focus has completely transferred to boosting the quality and efficiency of the services, and at the same time integrating the technology so that the government can achieve its goals.

Just like any other country, the sector of education comes under the supervision of the ministry of education, and they are the ones who should look for improvement and betterment of the education system.

The ministry of education has the task of educating the youth of Saudi Arabia and preparing them for the future.

There was a vision 2030 introduced by the king of Saudi Arabia, which had some long-term goals for education that includes increasing the standards of education.

Now we will discuss some of the changes that need to be made in the Saudi education system so that Saudi Arabia can improve their literacy rate.

Make it a little cheaper

Almost everything is expensive in Saudi Arabia, but the education system is specifically very expensive in the country, and which is why most of the citizens either move to foreign countries to get an education or stick to religious education only.

To improve their education system, Saudi Arabia needs to make education a little cheaper so that everyone in the country can easily afford to get into schools, colleges, and universities across the country rather than moving to foreign nations to get an education.

Make them think beyond the circle!

It is a common problem in all the education systems that they do not make the students think beyond the circle, and they just keep roaming around what they are taught in school.

The same is the case in the education of Saudi Arabia, they teach their students some specific subjects, and that is why the creativity of most of the students dies.

When the students graduate from school they are unable to think more than what they have been taught, and at the same time, they are expected to achieve so much and cross all the boundaries of success.

When the students graduate from schools or high schools, they have the same status of mind. They do not have any different ideas, and they keep revolving around the same point.

Because of the limited subjects being taught in schools, the students cannot opt for what they want to do, and that is why they are forced to choose from some specified subjects that are not necessarily of their interest.

It is the responsibility of the teachers to teach the students how they can think out of the box and do whatever they want to do depending upon their skills and talent.

The same old traditions

Just like all other normal schools, students of Saudi Arabia have to go through the same problems. As soon as they enter the school they have to stand in the assemblies and follow their everyday routine without bringing anything new.

This form can make the students very lazy, and they will not be able to think anything creative throughout their day.

There are many schools in Finland where the students enter, and they immediately have to take their shoes off and relax and that is exactly the kind of changes that all the schools need to make in Saudi Arabia.

The schools in Finland practice this activity every day because they know the students are very sleepy and lazy in the morning, and they need some time to activate their brains by relaxing.

Once they are done with this activity, they know that the students are attentive and awake.

Extracurricular Activities

One other thing that schools in Saudi Arabia need to understand is constantly teaching your kids will not make them extraordinary but they also need to take part in extracurricular activities so that they learn new things and can behave differently.

When the students are given these opportunities, their brains start to think more and it helps them improve their creativity so, there should always be some extracurricular activities to not bore your students.

Schools should also introduce online Quran classes from Saudi Arabia because people look up to them when it comes to religion and religious education.
