Continuing education and literacy..​

Continuing education is to provide formal and non-formal education opportunities for adult learners with the aim of developing their reading, digital, professional, and other skills. The Ministry of Education worked early on a clear roadmap to combat orthographic illiteracy in the various regions and governorates of the Kingdom. These plans contributed to reducing illiteracy and reducing its rate to 3.7%.

 Summer Campaigns and Literacy:0008.jpeg
Selectively focused campaigns for a period of two months are held in places where it is difficult to prepare for regular classes. These campaigns are one of the educational programs that target a group of citizens in their places of residence in cities and villages to eradicate their illiteracy with the participation of bodies and entities from the government sector, the private sector, and the third sector under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. This is done with the goal of eradicating illiteracy and teaching the target audience the fundamentals of literacy, as well as raising religious, cultural, social, and health awareness among the target audience and strengthening their sense of national belonging.

Learners are taught by a group of male and female teachers from a number of regions of the Kingdom, and the learning program includes a number of study subjects, including the Arabic language, religion, and mathematics.
