Opportunities Return to top King Abdullah Educational Development Program (Tatweer Project) The Saudi Government has allocated around SAR9 billion (US$2.4 billion) for the Tatweer project and is planning to take education to new horizons to cope with transformations around the world. Teachers, students’ advisors and school principals take different courses that can enable them to deal with their students from different angles to help them succeed at all levels. The project consists of four pillars: developing teachers’ skills, developing curricula, enhancing school activities, and improving school environment. The Kingdom is trying to develop education and is employing the latest possible technology to help build Saudi citizens at all levels. King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) KAUST’s core campus, located on the Red Sea at Thuwal, is sited on more than 36 km 2 (14 sq. Mi.), encompassing a marine sanctuary and research facility. KAUST is the first mixedsex university campus in Saudi Arabia. Within KAUST, female drivers will facilitate student and community life by driving. Saudi authorities hope the mixed-sex center will help modernize the kingdom’s deeply conservative society. The religious police does not operate on-site. Women will be allowed to mix freely with men and drive on campus, nor are they required to wear veils in the coeducational classes. KAUST will pursue its research agenda through four strategic research thrusts that focus on areas of science and technology that are important to Saudi Arabia, the region, and the world: • Resources, energy, and the environment, • Biosciences and bioengineering, • Materials science and engineering, and • Applied mathematics and computer science. Riyadh Women University Riyadh Women’s University will have 13 colleges, including facilities for medicine, dentistry, nursing, naturopathy and pharmacology and a 700-bed hospital. The new university and campus, which will accommodate up to 40,000 students, aims to be the focal point for promoting education among women in the kingdom. The university also plans to focus on educational programmes that are essential to meet Saudi’s job market requirement.
