RIYADH: The General Administration of Education in Asir region has launched a campaign titled “We Reach You for a Society Without Illiteracy,” aiming to reach beneficiaries in remote areas and villages.
Asir’s Education Director-General Fahd Aqala emphasized that the initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to elevate education levels and eradicate illiteracy.
It supports social and economic development while advancing Saudi Vision 2030’s comprehensive education goals, he added.
The campaign is strategically designed to activate continuing education programs by engaging target populations in their own communities.
Aqala stated that the directorate has mobilized resources to maximize the campaign’s reach.
He said literacy represents more than education — it serves as a fundamental cornerstone for societal advancement and sustainable development.
According to Aqala, continuing education programs in the region served over 11,414 male and female learners in 2024 at 263 centers and evening schools.
