Ministry of Education: “Balagh” program responds to over 8,000 reports, accounting for 65% of total reports
The Ministry of Education announced on Saturday that the “Blugh” (Report) program in schools had responded to approximately 8,602 reports by that day, representing 65 percent of the total reports received by the program, which aims to identify any observations or needs and address them urgently before the start of the new academic year.
In a statement, Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs Hamad Al-Hamad emphasized the necessity of treating observations and needs with urgency during this phase, and enhancing integration and coordination with maintenance and services departments and relevant authorities in various educational districts. This supports rapid response to field needs and completion of remaining tasks according to the actual priorities of each school before welcoming students.
The ministry clarified, according to the statement, that the program contributed to linking schools, educational districts, preparedness teams, and relevant sectors within a unified electronic system. This system begins with recording an observation or need at the school level, referring it directly to the competent authority, and continues through monitoring the measures taken, completing required works, and closing the report.
It noted that preparedness teams and relevant authorities monitored more than 13,000 reports during the summer holiday via the program, concerning civil and electrical maintenance works, air conditioning units, water coolers, school cleanliness, as well as the supply of textbooks, school and office furniture, and other readiness requirements.
It was reported that 8,602 reports were completed and resolved, accounting for 65.2 percent of the total incoming reports. Work is ongoing on approximately 20.5 percent of the reports, while 14.3 percent represent new reports that are being processed.
The ministry confirmed the continuation of intensive follow-up and the intensification of efforts by sectors, preparedness teams, and relevant authorities to complete pending reports and ongoing works. It explained that activating the “Blugh” program during this phase enhances the speed of identifying and addressing needs, reinforces integration between the field and relevant sectors, and contributes to raising readiness levels and completing necessary preparations to welcome learners with the launch of the 2026/2027 academic year.
