"Education": Fostering a Sense of Social Responsibility Among the Generations

Mai Al-Sakri – The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Dr. Khalid Al-Rashid, affirmed the ministry’s commitment to instilling environmental awareness among students and reinforcing positive behaviors related to environmental conservation and sustainability.

Following the opening of registration on Thursday for the fourth annual “Amani Madrasak” (My School’s Dream) exhibition at The Avenues Mall, Al-Rashid highlighted the importance of partnership with the General Authority for the Environment in supporting awareness initiatives aimed at building a generation conscious of its responsibilities toward the environment.

He noted that the participation of 156 schools across all educational stages, from kindergartens to the general secondary level, in last year’s exhibition reflects the importance of involving students in practical initiatives that foster a sense of social responsibility and encourage the adoption of recycling practices and the reduction of plastic waste.

For her part, Sanaa Al-Ghamlas, Executive Director of “Amani,” commended the role of government entities, represented by the Ministries of Interior, Education, Youth and Sports, and Development and Sustainability, as well as the Environment Authority, in supporting environmental initiatives and strengthening institutional partnerships aimed at raising environmental awareness among students. She added that school registration for the competition began on September 13 and will continue until September 26.
