Al-Sharika mentioned that the workshop also addressed the latest developments in the Gulf countries on issues related to zero carbon neutrality, green schools, and environmental and climate issues, confirming the center's continued preparation of such meetings to strengthen Gulf ties and support the joint work process in the context of education.
He said that the meetings held by the center aim to "enhance the capabilities and skills of specialists in ministries of education and support them technically to achieve development and professional growth goals for specialists, in addition to the goals of developing the students' knowledge base."
The workshop, which was attended by Dr. Hassan Khormi, Deputy Minister of General Education in Saudi Arabia, aims to introduce the reference guide prepared by the center on the topic of green schools, which includes operational standards for green schools and methods for integrating environmental concepts into curricula, to explore ways of benefiting from it.
