According to Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah, one of the results of the all-encompassing development process headed by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, is the collaboration between the public and private sectors in promoting education in the Kingdom of Bahrain. He pointed out that this collaboration is a useful instrument for enhancing education at all levels and equipping the country’s talent to compete and innovate in the job market.
