Building a smart education ecosystem: The Saudi approach
Saudi Arabia is not just reforming education, it is reimagining its role in the global knowledge economy. In recent years, the Kingdom has taken bold strides to elevate its higher education system, aligning with Vision 2030 and forging meaningful international partnerships. From welcoming world-class university branches to launching major academic reforms, Saudi Arabia is sending a clear message: education is no longer just a domestic priority, it is a global investment. Yet, as this transformation accelerates, one vital question remains: What kind of higher education model will truly serve the Kingdom's long-term goals? It is not simply a matter of expansion, it is about strategic alignment. The future of higher education in Saudi Arabia hinges on how well it integrates into the global knowledge economy, contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG4 on quality education and SDG8 on economic growth, and prepares graduates for a labor market shaped by automation, artificial intelligence, green energy and emerging technologies. Today, Saudi Arabia is fast becoming a destination of choice for prestigious international universities. That alone is commendable. But the real impact will come not from hosting global institutions but from adapting and embedding international best practices within Saudi educational ecosystems. A leading example of this vision is Prince Sultan University. As a Saudi institution aligned with global standards, it stands out for its commitment to international accreditation, interdisciplinary learning and SDG implementation. Its approach shows how universities can be both globally connected and deeply rooted in local relevance — a model worth replicating. The job market of tomorrow will not be defined by rigid degrees but by hybrid professionals But to lead in the future, universities must also rethink outdated academic structures. The job market of tomorrow will not be defined by rigid degrees but by hybrid professionals who can code and communicate, analyze and adapt, lead and innovate. This means rebranding majors to better reflect emerging industry needs. Imagine programs that blend business with sustainability, engineering with climate science or humanities with data analytics. And let us not forget the humanities. As we pursue cutting-edge innovation, there is a growing need to reintroduce and revitalize humanities disciplines — philosophy, ethics, history and languages — not as relics but as essential tools for shaping critical thinking, civic awareness and ethical leadership in a turbulent world. Equally important, AI must be embedded across all fields. It is not just a tech subject but a transformational force. Whether in law, healthcare, education or architecture, universities must prepare graduates to not only use AI, but to lead responsibly in an AI-augmented world. As Vision 2030 accelerates national diversification, higher education must evolve in tandem not by imitating foreign models, but by co-creating new ones with global partners. This includes launching joint degree programs with leading international universities; establishing transnational research hubs across Saudi campuses to build long-term research and development capacity, rather than serving research and ranking projects driven by international metrics with limited developmental impact; and leading regional think tanks focused on SDG localization, cultural diplomacy, Arabic AI and environmental innovation. At the same time, investing in robust research ecosystems grants, innovation labs and technology transfer offices is crucial to converting academic ideas into societal and economic impact. As a leading G20 nation, Saudi Arabia has a unique opportunity to lead a regional transformation in higher education, offering a model that blends international excellence with national purpose and positioning the Kingdom as a hub for innovation, scholarship and sustainability across the Middle East and beyond. The future of higher education in Saudi Arabia will be judged not by how many global campuses it hosts, but by how deeply it engages with international knowledge systems, how wisely it builds its own and how confidently it empowers its next generation not just to host knowledge, but to generate, globalize and lead through it. • Dr. Mansoor S.

Nationwide drive trains Saudi youth in sustainability
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Environment Fund has concluded its 'Friends of the Environment' initiative, which benefited 13,552 students from 331 schools across 13 administrative regions. The program aimed to raise environmental awareness among youth and was carried out in partnership with INJAZ Saudi Arabia, a nonprofit that empowers young Saudis with practical skills for the workforce. Munir bin Fahd Al-Sahli, acting CEO of the fund, said the initiative aligns with Vision 2030 and the National Environment Strategy, which seek to enhance and sustain the environmental sector and strengthen the Kingdom's leadership in the field. The fund plays a central role in realizing these goals. Munir Al-Sahli, acting CEO of the fund, said that the project is a model of collaboration between environmental, educational, and nonprofit sectors, and reflects the fund's goal of fostering a generation that values and protects natural resources. More than 200 student counselors were trained to deliver the program, logging 135,520 training hours — exceeding the initial plan of 125,000 hours. The initiative also surpassed its target of reaching 12,500 students. Al-Sahli said that while the program has met its objectives, the fund remains committed to supporting similar efforts that raise environmental awareness among youth. He added that the project is a model of collaboration between environmental, educational, and nonprofit sectors, and reflects the fund's goal of fostering a generation that values and protects natural resources. The 'Friends of the Environment' initiative is part of the Incentives and Grants Program, an online platform launched by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture in mid-2024. The program supports 16 tracks across various environmental fields, and applicants can apply through the Environmental Fund's website. Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia introduced a new environmental financing initiative worth SR1 billion ($267 million), backed by Riyad Bank, to boost private sector involvement in sustainable projects. It was announced by Minister Abdulrahman Al-Fadhli, who is also the chairman of the fund. The initiative aims to strengthen funding for environmental efforts and provide incentives for standout projects. It forms part of a wider national strategy to protect the environment and promote sustainable development.

Where We Are Going Today: Mashwa Al-Balad Restaurant in Qatif
Mashwa Al-Balad in Qatif is a grill and shawarma restaurant that will have you dialing the delivery number any time your cravings make you want to recreate nights spent grilling under the desert skies. My family and I love this place because it usually solves the 'What are we having for dinner tonight?' feud when one of us wants a shawarma and others want kebab plates; rarely do restaurants offer such a wide selection of dishes and do them all well. Let's start with the classic shawarma plates: Arabic beef and, my personal favorite, the Arabic chicken, both of which come with fries. Well-seasoned, tender, and with a portion size that is great as a full meal. They sometimes put a little too much garlic sauce for my liking, but others might prefer it that way. If you're not a fan of the plates, they offer shawarma sandwiches in different styles as well, from classic to spicy to ones with a slight Mediterranean twist, served with pomegranate seeds and rocket leaves. The stars of the show, however, are the kebab and grill wraps, including beef awsal (cubes), shish tawooq, beef kebab, chicken kebab, and chicken musahhab. These wraps are so flavorful, you can taste the smokiness in every bite, and the meat is complemented by the sauces and salad toppings. And of course, you can't forget about the classic grill plates, which include separate or mixed combinations. What I like about Mashwa Al-Balad is that you can mix and match your favorite plates, sandwiches, and all the traditional appetizers (hummus, tabbouleh, grape leaves, and more) and ensure there's something for everyone at the table.
