Education Experts is a unique event that is led by Schools, leading presentations, roundtable discussions and panel debates targeting key priority topics challenging Education today.
On 10th-11th October 2023, Education Experts is back to Saudi Arabia for 2 days of inspiring content, networking and product discovery from our solution providers.
The Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 recognizes the need to improve the education system in order to ensure future growth and prosperity in the country. Key to the development will be embedding positive moral beliefs in the characters of young people from an early age by reshaping the academic and educational system. Schools will work closely with families to reinforce the fabric of society by providing students with the compassion, knowledge, and behaviors necessary for resilient and independent characters to emerge.
The focus will be on the fundamental values of initiative, persistence and leadership, as well as social skills, cultural knowledge and self-awareness. Promotion of cultural, social, volunteering and athletic activities through empowering the educational, cultural and entertainment institutions will be a key strategy in meeting the Vision.
