Saudi Arabia’s education system has gone through an astonishing
transformation. When the Kingdom was established in 1932, education was
available to very few people, mostly the children of wealthy families
living in the major cities.
Today, Saudi Arabia’s education system includes 25
public and 27 private universities, with more planned; some 30,000
schools; and a large number of colleges and other institutions. The
system is open to all citizens, and provides students with free
education, books and health services.
While the study of Islam remains at its core, the
modern Saudi educational system also provides quality instruction in
diverse fields of arts and sciences. This diversity helps the Kingdom
prepare its citizens for life and work in a global economy.
