Vision 2030 - Shaping the Bigger Picture

The world of education is changing. There is the emergence of new educational models and a pressing need for change in learning development.

To make continued progress in the face of unprecedented challenges, Emkan Education highlights the importance of education in line with one of the critical pillars of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan.

Owing to the strategic initiatives and public-private partnerships, the Kingdom has made tremendous strides to diversify its economy in the last few years, and the educational sector has played a critical role in this process. For example, in 2017, Saudi Arabia allowed 100% foreign ownership in its educational sector, allowing global private K-12 providers to compete with local initiatives.

This initiative increases competition, leading to higher standards for all schools in the country and increasing the demand for high-quality education. Moreover, this high demand is a catalyst for Saudi Arabia's government to uplift its educational ecosystem.

At Emkan Education, we carry this mission further by directly contributing to the strategic transformation of education in Saudi Arabia as part of the National Transformation Program (NTP). Our experts constantly work towards improving the recruitment, training, and professional development of educational leaders via our advisory and consultancy support. We are always at the forefront to empower schools and local educational institutions with our services in the educational landscape, leading to increased private-sector participation in the sector.
