Saudi Ministry of Education: K-12, Higher Ed and Vision 2030

The Saudi Ministry of Education is the institution responsible for K-12 schooling, higher education policy, scholarships and education reform under Vision 2030. Its mandate runs from early childhood and public schools through universities and vocational pathways, with the goal of aligning graduates to a diversifying labour market.

Education reform is not merely one component of Vision 2030; it is the foundation upon which many of the plan’s economic, social, and cultural objectives depend. The Kingdom’s ambition to build a knowledge-based economy, reduce dependence on hydrocarbon revenues through sector diversification, increase private sector employment of Saudi nationals, and foster innovation and entrepreneurship all require a workforce that is educated to international standards and prepared for the demands of the twenty-first century labour market.
