Curriculum Revised to Suit Social Needs, Says Saud
Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said here yesterday that the Saudi school curriculum has been reviewed and revised according to the needs of Saudi society and its development. Answering a question at a press conference on the link between terrorism in Saudi Arabia and what is taught in Saudi schools, Prince Saud said: "The Kingdom had long ago started working on reviewing and revising as well as developing its curriculum to meet the demands of Saudi society. It was improved to conform to the needs of today's generation and to upgrade the student's knowledge and logic based on human causes and motives required of the new generation. We tried to eliminate any flaws or what might hinder progress and we tried to ensure that the new curriculum focuses more on understanding, humanity, and tolerance. The media are now addressing and appreciating the positive changes that have already taken place."
