In the Foundation’s endeavour to develop the Education  Department, the Foundation during the year 2020 until 2023 has  achieved many tremendous things in the education field, and the  achievements include the following:  

Firstly: Formation of the Curriculum and Courses Preparation  Committee  

When the Foundation learned that the educational issue with its  systems and curricula is human jurisprudence, which may be  reconsidered, it reconsidered its educational curricula, so it formed  the Curriculum Committee, and this committee began its work on  Monday, June 26, 2021, the committee consisted of ten members  from different disciplines who began their work by reviewing the  curriculum and the Secretariat’s curriculum in accordance with its  standards until the end of writing the courses was reached on  September 26, 2022. 

After the success of the project to review and develop the  educational curriculum, the Foundation formed a committee to  supervise the secondary certificate exams for all schools of the  Foundation,The first batch of the Foundation after unifying its  curricula and exams was in 2022, as the number of graduates was  125 students.  

And this followed by the second batch in 2023, which has 123  graduates.
