The Ministry of Education has participated the health sectors in the kingdom and the International community in celebrating the World First Aid Day, which falls this year on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, based on the importance of raising the public awareness about the contribution of the first aids in saving lives in times of crisis.
The efforts of the Ministry of Education, in its active partnership and integration with the Ministry of Health, have continued to ensure the service of its male and female students to finish all the work and equipment necessary for a safe return to study. This is represented in a serious start for a new exceptional academic year 2021-2022, by raising the school readiness through working in accordance with the approved health protocols. In addition to applying the highest levels of precautionary measures and health requirements, in terms of hygiene, maintenance and operation, and making sterilization tools available in schools, and other preventive and necessary supplies for a safe return to study, and forming specialized teams in all education departments to ensure that this is achieved.
The Ministry of Education is keen to provide a healthy and safe school environment for students and the educational community by providing health care for them through the School Health Department. This is to support the continuation of the educational journey despite the challenges imposed by the pandemic, with the available means, tools, and first aids in schools, as well as taking all measures to deal with the Corona virus, infectious and emergency cases, and the prevention of infection of viral diseases within schools.
