Incorporation of Technology into Education

Saudi Arabia's K-12 education system is experiencing a major overhaul with the inclusion of technology in classrooms. The government has made massive investments in digital infrastructure, making it easier for schools to adopt learning management systems (LMS), interactive content, and adaptive learning platforms. This technology enables customized learning experiences, which address the varying needs of students.

These technologies are enhancing the quality of education while exposing students to a future where digital proficiency is an imperative, which further contributes to the Saudi Arabia K-12 education market growth.

Increase in Private and International Schools

There is a growing demand for private and international schools in Saudi Arabia's K-12 education sector, fueled by a rising middle class and a growing population of expatriates. Parents are looking for high-quality schooling with variety in the curricula, including American, British, and International Baccalaureate (IB) curricula. In Jeddah, over 70 international schools satisfy this demand, offering education compatible with international standards. The Vision 2030 program by the government has also spurred on private sector investment through public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives, including the development of new schools in major urban areas. The expansion is improving the education sector while also promoting a competitive climate that inspires teaching and learning quality improvements.

Focus on Quality and Accountability
