From Wooden Planks to Modern Classrooms: The Evolution of Education in Northern Borders Region

Arar, August (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز ‎‎‎ 25 أغسطس 2025ء) In the 1370s AH, education for girls was pioneered by teacher Hana Al-Maghribi, who transformed her home in Arar into the first girls' school, teaching 35 students. Her initiative marked the beginning of formal education for girls in the region, and she later became the first principal of Arar's Girls' Elementary School.

Today, Northern Borders Region is a testament to this legacy. With the start of the new academic year, over 100,000 students are returning to 426 schools, taught by more than 8,500 teachers. The opening of 11 new schools this year highlights the continued expansion and development of the region's educational system, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
