The program included organizing several awareness and training workshops, alongside a specialized seminar on first aid, with the aim of enhancing preventive awareness among students and reinforcing concepts of safety and preparedness to handle risks, crises, and emergencies.
The program comes within the framework of joint cooperation between the Ministry of Education and the National Guard, and as part of the awareness plan executed by the Moral Guidance Department of the National Guard through school visits and the provision of guidance and educational programs. These initiatives aim to familiarize students with prevention and safety procedures, evacuation mechanisms, and how to deal with various emergency situations, as well as to raise their awareness of the instructions and guidelines that must be followed in the event of disasters and crises.
This visit is part of a series of awareness visits conducted by the National Guard, which include 49 boys’ secondary schools across all educational zones. The objective is to spread a culture of prevention and safety among students, introduce them to proper methods for handling risks and emergency situations, and enhance their readiness to respond appropriately under various circumstances.
The program targeted Grade 12 students from both the scientific and literary streams, through the organization of a series of workshops and awareness stations. Students rotated among these stations, allowing them to benefit from the various topics presented, gain practical knowledge of prevention and evacuation procedures, and learn how to handle risks, as well as acquire basic first aid principles.
The organization of these events reflects the importance of partnership and cooperation between educational institutions and relevant security and safety authorities in promoting preventive culture among students, developing their ability to respond appropriately in exceptional circumstances, and enhancing their readiness to deal with any future emergencies.
At the conclusion of the program, both sides expressed their appreciation for the joint cooperation and the warm hospitality, emphasizing the importance of continuing coordination between the Ministry of Education and the National Guard to implement further awareness programs and activities that contribute to raising public awareness, and reinforcing concepts of prevention, safety, and crisis management among students.
