Abstract

The education system in Saudi Arabia has developed over time and the process started in the early years of the establishment of the kingdom. The education system evolved during the time of various monarchs since the founder King Ibn Saud. It has developed from a rudimentary, disorganized and limited system to a widespread, organized and complex system with a network of schools, colleges, universities and professional institutions. In the process it became more effective but continued to face problems and challenges. A key question has been on the lack of improvement in the quality of the public education system and why it remained ignored for long.
