Saudi Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan has outlined a series of measures aimed at advancing the Kingdom\u2019s education system, improving learning outcomes and strengthening the school environment, while preserving Saudi Arabia\u2019s religious values and national identity.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Government Communication Press Conference, Al-Benyan said that teachers\u2019 attendance will end at the conclusion of the school day according to each school\u2019s approved schedule, following a review of attendance procedures through the \u201cHuduri\u201d platform.<\/p>\n

Turning to international scholarships, Al-Benyan revealed that approximately 70% of Saudi scholarship students are studying at universities ranked among the world\u2019s top 50.<\/p>\n

The figure reflects the Kingdom\u2019s focus on providing Saudi students with access to leading international institutions while strengthening their academic and professional competitiveness.<\/p>\n

The approach forms part of Saudi Arabia\u2019s broader human-capital development strategy under Saudi Vision 2030 and the Human Capability Development Program, which seek to align education and skills development with the evolving needs of the economy and labor market.<\/p>\n

Official data previously indicated that the share of Saudi scholarship students studying at the world\u2019s top 50 universities stood at 66% in 2025, before rising to the level announced by the minister. Saudi Ministry of Finance \u2013 Scholarship Data<\/a><\/p>\n

36 Million Textbooks Delivered Ahead of the Academic Year<\/h3>\n

As part of preparations for the new academic year, Al-Benyan said more than 36 million copies of school textbooks had been delivered to schools before the beginning of summer.<\/p>\n
