With schools being readied and curricula updated for the new term, MP Jalal Kadhem backed parent briefings and said the Ministry of Education, led by His Excellency Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, “is moving with clear steps to raise the educational system”.

He welcomed the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to hold orientation events for parents in public schools so they can review programmes and plans for the new academic year.

Care

He called it “a step that shows the leadership’s care to cement effective communication between family and school, helping to build a learning environment that encourages success”.

Kadhem said appointing Bahraini professionals across teaching and administrative posts is among the clearest gains of recent work.

This, he added, “shows strong confidence in national cadres to lead education, in line with the leadership’s vision to enable Bahraini citizens and strengthen their role in serving the nation”.

Support

He voiced support for the ministry’s start-of-term preparations: getting schools ready and maintaining facilities, updating curricula, improving school infrastructure, enabling teaching and administrative talent, and ensuring modern learning resources are in place, alongside other steps to lift the quality of schooling.

Kadhem said the past few years have brought a run of decisions and measures that serve students, staff and parents.

“I am confident in Minister Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma’s management of this key sector and his ability to keep improving education in line with people’s hopes,” he said.

He also pointed to the ministry’s recent humanitarian bent, citing attention to social cases, follow-up of community issues, and support for students and their families in exceptional circumstances, whether through field efforts or positive engagement on social media.

Solidarity

This approach, he said, “has strengthened solidarity and social responsibility, had a positive effect on families and the wider community, and reinforced trust in the ministry’s human and educational role”.

He concluded that Parliament backs the ministry’s plans, saying education remains a main pillar of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s reform project and a foundation for Bahrain’s economic and development vision.
