RIYADH: Saudi Education Minister Hamad Al-Sheikh on Tuesday launched an improved version of the ministry’s education portal.
It features diverse services and options for all visitors including people with disabilities. The portal includes the option of submitting proposals and complaints.
Al-Sheikh said the new portal would serve as a front for communicating with the public and their reliable source of information about all matters related to education.
The new portal offers an integrated system of information and efficient electronic services through diverse channels. It relies on the e-government program Yesser’s local standards, the UN’s international standards to build government portals and the ministry’s visual identity standards.
The minister said the portal would be regularly updated and developed.
It includes all e-services provided by the ministry for students in general and university education, exchange students, teachers and investors.
The portal also includes links to the websites of relevant agencies and public administrations at the ministry, education departments, government and public universities and cultural attaches abroad.

King Abdulaziz Foundation reveals rare images from king’s 1916 Basra visit
- Photographs form part of a wider collection documented by British photographer Gertrude Bell
RIYADH: The King Abdulaziz Foundation has revealed archival photographs documenting King Abdulaziz’s tour of the outskirts of Basra in 1916, a visit that came at an early stage of his efforts to build regional relationships.
One of the photographs, taken by British photographer Gertrude Bell, shows King Abdulaziz standing with his men in the Basra desert, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The image reflects his early political and diplomatic engagement in the region, as he sought to strengthen ties with neighboring areas and engage with the wider Arab and international community, SPA added.
The photograph forms part of a wider collection documented by Bell, which records key developments and transformations across the Arabian Peninsula during the early 20th century.
The Basra visit holds particular significance in King Abdulaziz’s journey as a unifying leader.
Rather than crossing borders in pursuit of power, the visit reflected an approach focused on stability, cooperation and long-term regional harmony, laying the groundwork for a leadership style defined by pragmatism and openness, SPA said.
