Saudi Education Minister and US Ambassador Discuss Future of Education
In a high-level meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan and the Kingdom’s ambassador to the US, Princess Reema bint Bandar, delved into the evolving landscape of education. Their aim? To bolster collaboration between the US and Saudi Arabia in the realms of general and university education, research, and innovation.
The duo scrutinized current educational joint ventures and agreements already in place between the two nations. But that’s not all – they also brainstormed strategies to entice American investors and education enterprises to partake in Saudi Arabia’s education sector. Their goal? To elevate its quality, align it with the demands of the labor market, and position it as a key player in achieving the objectives of Vision 2030, the Kingdom’s ambitious national development and diversification plan.
