With Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia aims to create a thriving economy where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. It envisions a society that supports economic growth and job creation for all Saudis and expats by attracting top talent, fostering technological innovation and increasing global investment.
Quite obviously, education is a key pillar of that vision. Today, educational institutions like primary, secondary schools need to strike the right balance between academic excellence and operational efficiency that supports the nation’s broader goals of digital transformation.
