Bahrain Participates in World Police Summit 2025
Lt. Gen. Al Hassan took part in a prominent panel discussion titled "Technological Transformations in the Landscape of Organised Crime," where he addressed the growing threats posed by emerging forms of crime, including cyber fraud and illicit drug trafficking.
He highlighted how modern criminal networks are increasingly turning to advanced technologies such as cryptocurrencies, encrypted messaging platforms, and the dark web to bypass law enforcement surveillance and disrupt investigative processes.
Emphasising the need for enhanced international cooperation, Lt. Gen. Al Hassan called for the development of robust cross-border legal frameworks and the strengthening of inter-agency trust and communication to combat transnational crime effectively.
He also stressed the importance of investing in law enforcement training to keep pace with technological advances, including the adoption of artificial intelligence to support predictive policing and proactive crime prevention strategies.
The Chief of Public Security outlined Bahrain's proactive initiatives in building strong community partnerships and launching youth-focused programmes aimed at protecting society from drugs, organised crime, digital fraud, and online harassment. These efforts include nationwide security awareness campaigns in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, as well as coordinated efforts with international partners.
Lt. Gen. Al Hassan concluded by reaffirming the crucial role of global security coordination in addressing cross-border criminal activity. He praised the contributions of organisations such as INTERPOL and the GCC Police Authority in advancing police capabilities, sharing expertise, and strengthening regional and international security networks.

Saudi Arabia Returns To Two-Term Academic Year Starting 2025-2026
The Saudi Cabinet has approved a return to a two-semester academic year for public schools starting in the 2025–2026 school year, while maintaining the previously approved long-term academic calendar framework through the next four years, the Ministry of Education announced. The ministry said the decision follows a comprehensive review of the three-semester model, which had been adopted as part of broader education reforms in line with Vision 2030. While the three-term system helped solidify a minimum of 180 instructional days annually — comparable to averages in OECD and G20 countries — the shift back to two terms reflects a strategic pivot informed by national consultations. The ministry emphasized that educational quality is not solely determined by the number of semesters but by the foundational elements of the learning ecosystem, including teacher training and motivation, curriculum development, school environment, institutional governance, and local autonomy. A wide-ranging study involving educators, administrators, students, and parents found that flexibility in academic scheduling — particularly in regions with special seasonal demands like Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and Taif — is essential for better alignment with local needs and to support national priorities such as the Hajj and Umrah seasons. While public schools will return to a two-term system, the Ministry confirmed that private and international schools, universities, and vocational institutions will retain the flexibility to choose the academic model that best suits their needs.
