RIYADH — The King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba), in partnership with the Ministry of Education, will hold the Spring Forum 2023, between March 3 and 14, in which 217 gifted men and women from 19 education departments will take part.

During the 10-day forum, 20 men and women trainers of the highest national and international competencies will hold an average of eight training hours per day for the participants, supervised by 10 men and women national cadres.

The training program is bound to prepare the students in these fields, raising their level of performance in qualifying exams and thus later participate in the Summer Forum.
