His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa has stressed that education must remain a top priority for national investment and innovation, calling it vital to building a brighter and more prosperous future.
HH made the remarks on Wednesday while inaugurating the 'Nassiyat Al Elm' project at Bahrain Bayan School, a new initiative under his patronage that seeks to document and preserve the Kingdom's private education heritage.
Legacy meets vision
HH Shaikh Mohammed said Bahrain's leadership, under His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, places education at the centre of national development.
HH highlighted the role of innovation and empowerment in equipping Bahrainis for success and praised the national workforce and private schools for their contribution to advancing the sector and shaping future generations.
Bayan School honoured
Founded in 1982, Bahrain Bayan School stands as a pioneering national, non-profit bilingual institution. The new project, launched on its campus, features an archive of historical documents and photographs chronicling the evolution of private education in Bahrain.
HH Shaikh Mohammed toured the exhibition and commended its role in preserving the Kingdom's academic legacy for future generations. HH also praised Her Excellency Dr Shaikha May bint Sulaiman Al-Otaibi, the school's Founder and Executive Chairperson, for her leadership in raising educational standards.
Support recognised
HE Dr Al-Otaibi described the archive as an essential academic and cultural reference, enabling students and researchers to engage with the story of Bahrain's educational development. She thanked HH Shaikh Mohammed for his patronage and acknowledged the sponsors - National Bank of Bahrain, Al Salam Bank, GFH Financial Group, and Khaleeji Commercial Bank -for their critical support.
The archive will be accessible to the public and is expected to enhance the national education landscape as a valuable long-term resource.
