The Saudi Bahraini Institute for the Blind celebrated a significant milestone with the graduation of its 30th batch of students, in a ceremony held to honour outstanding learners across various academic levels.

The event was attended by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, Minister of Education, along with a number of senior officials, specialists, and proud family members.

In his remarks, Dr. Juma praised the Institute’s dedication and the impressive achievements of its students, noting that their accomplishments reflect the power of will and determination in overcoming challenges.

“These students have shown that nothing is impossible when driven by resilience and ambition,” he said.

Quality education

The Minister also commended the Ministry of Education’s Special Educational Needs Center and public schools that provide inclusive learning environments for students with visual impairments, ensuring they are granted their full right to quality education.

“Blind students are characterised by extraordinary willpower, a strong desire to excel, and the ability to turn obstacles into opportunities,” Dr. Juma added. “Their success stories are a source of pride and inspiration for the entire educational community.”

Mr. Ibrahim Ali Al-Borshid, Assistant Undersecretary for Education, highlighted the important role of the Institute in delivering specialised education and rehabilitation programs that support students’ integration into mainstream schools — programs that have enabled many graduates to pursue and complete higher education degrees.

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Abdul Wahid Mohammed AlKhayat, Director of the Saudi Bahraini Institute for the Blind, credited the Ministry of Education for its unwavering support, which he said was instrumental in the achievements of the Institute and its students.
