This was the idea of establishing a board of directors of the schools in the Wilayat of Izki in order to provide what is best for teachers, administrators, technicians and students.
“The idea is to provide specific programmes for state school employees that contribute to their professional and intellectual development. It also encourages the creative ideas of teachers and contributes to improving the level of achievement for students and gave attention to their talents, abilities and potential.
“This year we have developed a programme to take care of school students in order to take advantage of their free time in the middle of the year vacation in order to benefit them,” Al Amri added.
The event also included a poetry recital by poet Ibtesam bint Salim al Amri.
The attendees later visited the workshops and the exhibition which were held on the sidelines of the Forum.
