EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Saudi Arabia has emerged to be one of the major education markets in the
GCC region. The country — which spends approximately 25% of its total
fiscal spending, and 7.6% of its GDP on education — caters to
approximately 8.5 million people, across various levels of education. With
an enrollment ratio of approximately 106% for k–12 education, and
approximately 41% for higher education, Saudi Arabia has a high literacy
rate — with only 5.6% of the people above 15 years being illiterate.
Besides high government spending, other factors that are driving the
growth of Saudi Arabia’s education sector are the increase in population
and income levels. Further, increasing number of expatriates, and
government’s efforts to reduce unemployment are also resulting in
expansion of the sector.

REPORT SAMPLE
EDUCATION SYSTEM IN SAUDI ARABIA
Education in Saudi Arabia is governed by the Ministry of Education, along
with the Ministry of Higher Education that supervises the post–secondary
education, and the General Organization for Technical Education and
Vocational Training that supervises vocational and technical education.
There are also several specific government bodies such as the Ministry of
Defense and Aviation, and the Presidency of the National Guard — which
provide education and training for specific jobs.
The education starts at approximately four years of age, when a child
enrolls for preschool education for two years. Preschool education in Saudi
Arabia is not mandatory, and is also not considered as a part of official
education by the Ministry of Education. However, several private schools
provide preschool education, post which, a child is automatically enrolled
for elementary education in that school.
The main K–12 education starts after preschool education, and spans
across 12 years. The first six years of education are known as elementary
or primary education. A child enters elementary education at
approximately six years of age at Grade 1, and studies till Grade 6 — post
which she attains the Elementary Education Certificate. All the elementary
schools in Saudi Arabia are day schools and are not co–educational.
Major subjects that a student studies at elementary level include Arabic,
religious studies, home economics (for girls), physical education (for boys),
art education, geography, history, mathematics, national education and
science.
Post elementary education, a child is enrolled for intermediate education,
which lasts for three years — from Grade 7 till Grade 9. Intermediate
education is also not co–educational, and includes subjects such as Arabic,
religious studies, home economics (for girls), physical education (for boys),

art education, English, geography, history, mathematics, national
education and science. After successful completion of intermediate
education, a student is awarded an Intermediate School Certificate.
The third phase of K–12 education is secondary education, which again
lasts for three years — from Grade 10 till Grade 12. Secondary education
students have an option to either opt for general education, or specialized
secondary education. While the general education imparted is not co–
educational and is imparted separately to both boys and girls, the
specialized secondary education comprising of vocational and religious
education is only for boys.
In general secondary education, the students study general curriculum
during the first year, and can opt from shariah and Arabic studies;
administration and social sciences; and natural sciences — during the
remaining two years. After successful completion, the students receive
Secondary School Certificate.
Under specialized secondary education, while the girls can opt for
teachers’ training; the boys have option to choose either the religious
education under schools such as Imam Mohammad Bin Saud Islamic
University and the Quranic Secondary Schools, or vocational and technical
education, supervised by the General Organization for Technical Education
and Vocational Training. The vocational and technical education colleges
spread across the kingdom, impart education in the fields of industry
commerce and agriculture.
