Bahrain University Renames College of Teachers in Honor of Dr. Mohamed Jaber Al-Ansari

Following the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the University of Bahrain has officially renamed the College of Teachers to the Mohamed Jaber Al-Ansari College of Teachers. This decision honors Dr. Al-Ansari’s pioneering contributions to intellectual and cultural life in Bahrain and the Arab world, as well as his achievements across various fields of knowledge.

On the occasion, Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, Minister of Education and Chairman of the University of Bahrain Board of Trustees, expressed pride in the royal directive, noting that the college now carries the name of the distinguished Bahraini thinker.

He highlighted that the college has become a symbol of quality education in preparing and training teachers locally and internationally.
