In his recent meeting with writers, Minister of Education Dr. Hamad Al-Sheikh announced the imminent launch of the digital education course, which is likely to commence from the fourth grade of elementary school provided that the facilities are in place. This is a qualitative course we have been waiting for.Personally, I hope that it would start from the pre-school level of education, because today we need this sort of direct educational awareness from the very early phase of schooling. The child now deals with devices, not just for entertainment but his school, which is now inside this device, and who knows his future job may also be inside it.The coronavirus pandemic has made us come up with many concepts not only for education but for work as well. I would like to emphasize that the...

Macron and the almost impossible mission in Beirut
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in the Lebanese capital Beirut, carrying with him a plan that he would present to the Lebanese political leadership while hoping that it would be instrumental for Lebanon to help overcome the worsening economic and political crisis.The French president’s visit to Lebanon is the second of its kind within a couple of weeks, and this indicates that France has come to realize that the situation in the Land of the Cedars has become dangerous and reached the threatening level of even collapse of the state. Therefore, Macron wants an urgent solution to the immediate and medium-term crises so as to ensure that the country stands on its feet.The French president knows that proposing solutions appears to be a very complex task, as the core issue is not...

A crucial G20 Summit
By Ambassador Saad Bin Mohammed Alarify When in December 2019, Saudi Arabia took over the Group of 20 Presidency, it is safe to say that the world was in a different state. There was no global pandemic spreading across the globe, countries were not in lockdown, and most economies were looking much more robust than what we see now.With the increased challenges from COVID-19, we need to push on with an agenda that aims to recover and shape the future.A necessary agendaThe overall theme for Saudi Arabia's G20 Presidency is “Realizing Opportunities of the 21st Century for All”. It was chosen with great care, because we must ensure that the opportunities we create are for the many.Saudi Arabia is working to provide a "cooperative environment for the G20 to introduce policies and...

What Aug. 31 means for Saudis
AUGUST 31 is a special date for Saudis as it marks the birthday of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman who turned 35 this year.We are celebrating his birthday to pay a tribute to the remarkable changes he promised and delivered for the country and is still forging ahead.The turnaround that he brought about was not accidental, it was in fact by dint of his sheer hard work. Muhammad Bin Salman has been working day in and day out to accomplish the Vision 2030 for Saudi Arabia.We stand solidly behind him as he believes there is no fear of success, but there is the fear of not having the success one aspires for.There have been so many achievements made of late for the progress of the country. Honestly, it’s difficult to recount everything that has been done by the Crown Prince over the past few...

The resumption of international flights
The decision to open international flights through Saudi airports is still on hold, especially with the return of a surge in coronavirus infection cases in some global travel destinations, such as France, Britain, Germany, Australia, Singapore and South Korea.While Saudi Arabia is working hard to control the spread of infection, as its daily figures are showing remarkable success, we have to understand that taking the risk of easing the precautionary measures might result in an unwanted setback.Hence, the resumption of international travel activity might take a longer period, with the exception of tourist travel!However, the economy has its opinion that cannot be ignored longer on this issue. International travel might return the way commercial activities have resumed, while maintaining...

2021, Saudization of engineering jobs
We are going to speak about the great announcement made by the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in which they decided to Saudize 20% of engineering jobs effective next year — 2021.According to the Ministry, this will cover 117 engineering careers, creating more than 7,000 jobs with a monthly income of not less than SR7,000. We hope to hear from the Ministry more on this, especially regarding the percent of Saudization to include the pre and fresh engineering graduates with reasonable income to match today’s lifestyle.We welcome this decision of the Ministry and the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Al Rajhi for providing Saudi engineers with a chance to excel in the Saudi labor market. This decision will be applied to all private sector...

Is Turkey sinking in the Mediterranean?
Commenting on the critical standoff between his country and Turkey, the Greek prime minister said: We must negotiate in a civilized manner, as two neighboring countries, to reach solutions for our differences.Here, it seems that he is asking for the impossible from the Erdogan mentality that is leading Turkey to bad outcomes. However, Erdogan believes that, with his foolishness and recklessness, he is making gains for his project of expansion, control and incursion, ignoring international laws, treaties and diplomatic norms, trying to add more tension to an essentially troubled region burdened with accumulated problems.Exploration for oil or gas does not require sending naval vessels and combat aircraft to accompany the exploration ship, nor does it require training exercises for the Air...

Iraq and international hypocrisy
Since a week, I have been reading "Al-Fitna" by Kanan Makiya about the state of Iraq from 2003 till 2006, and it was amazing that whenever I finished reading a chapter of the novel and reading the news bulletins, I felt as if I was still completing the remaining chapters of the novel, as there is no difference in the details in terms of assassinations and violence.Last week alone, Basra witnessed assassinations against Iraqi activists, men and women, the most famous of whom is the Iraqi Reham Yaqoub. Their only sin was the rejection of Iranian influence, and corruption, and all of these assassinations were carried out by the lawless terrorist groups affiliated with militias defending Iran.Despite all the sad scenes, the amazing thing is the magnitude of Western hypocrisy,...

Back to school — remotely
Saudi Arabia will again undergo an educational experience remotely, following the announcement of our Ministry of Education to continue schooling with distance learning for seven weeks. The school year starts from Aug. 30, 2020, and education will continue remotely until further notice according to the Minister of Education Dr. Hamad Al-Sheikh.We appreciate this move by the Ministry, as the priority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been the health and safety of our sons and daughters. This welcome decision came as the idea of going back to school during these pandemic times is of concern with many parents reluctant to send their children back to school. Thankfully, the decision was made for distance learning, and that is what we wished for.In the coming days the Ministry of Education is...

We will not water the thorns in Lebanon!
The Saudi support to Lebanon during the period 1990-2015 exceeded $70 billion, which contributed to the reconstruction of Lebanon after the end of the civil war and to supporting the Lebanese economy during the crises that Lebanon went through. In all stages, Saudi aid was used to heal Lebanon's wounds every time they bled due to Hezbollah's policies and wars!This time, Saudi Arabia had a different stance, an open and transparent stand for internal Lebanon and for the international community. Saudi Arabia will not continue to pay Hezbollah’s bills, and the Lebanese have to shoulder their responsibilities towards their country, and the international community must assume its responsibilities towards Hezbollah’s mischief internally and regionally!It is no longer possible for...
