Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs to QNA: New Strategy Establishes Comprehensive Approach to Improving Education Quality -1-

Regarding the most prominent axes on which the MOEHE’s strategy 2024-2025 is based, Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the MOEHE Maha Al Ruwaili told QNA that they are represented in pre-primary education, education from grades one to twelve, post-secondary education, continuing education and the capabilities of the educational system. She noted that the goals it seeks to achieve are comprehensive goals for all areas of the educational process, including, but not limited to, access to high-quality education and improving the level of services provided by kindergartens and nurseries.

She added that the ministry also seeks, through its strategy, to support the digital learning process, stressing that excellence in digital education at all levels represents one of the main objectives of the MOEHE’s strategy. In that regard, she pointed to enhancing the digital skills of teachers and students and digitizing and managing educational content for all subjects and academic levels interactively and a
ttractively.

Al Ruwaili said that the strategy focuses primarily on the learner, ensuring that they have an integrated educational journey enhanced with experiences and skills throughout the different stages of their lives. The ministry also seeks to enhance the capabilities of students and enable them to be future leaders and active contributors to society, through a number of strategic programs such as the “my skills, my future” strategic program, which aims to enhance curricula and align learning sources and methodologies with the skills and knowledge required to be mastered. The program also includes a project to prepare a comprehensive framework for twenty-first-century competencies and the “after school learning” project, which is an enhancement learning program that focuses on basic competencies and skills and the establishment of training camps.

Regarding the role of the strategy in supporting inclusive education and the programs that the ministry will work to implement within the framework of suppo
rting students with disabilities, Al Ruwaili pointed out that the strategy did not ignore students with disabilities, but rather included essential initiatives through which it aims to provide fair and equal opportunities for these students, and empower and integrate them into society. She noted that the strategic program “my special path” aims to draw a roadmap to improve support for inclusive education and its quality and develop the services provided to students with disabilities.
