Our Education System Is Flawed, Say Shoura Members
Members of the Shoura Council — many of whom are professors — strongly criticized the Kingdoms system of higher education yesterday. They said it needed to be changed in order to serve the nation in the age of globalization. The session was attended by a number of faculty members from the Kingdoms universities.
Dr. Saud Al-Shammari, a member of the councils Education and Scientific Committee, said that members should ask themselves honestly whether the Kingdoms current system of higher education could meet the needs of future generations.
The current system, he said, does not serve the needs of the economy and society. It is the old system with only a few changes to the administration and finance segments. The educational content remains unchanged.
