Al-Hamad emphasized the importance of continuing the efforts made by various concerned entities to complete the preparation of educational facilities, and directed school administrations and affiliated entities to activate the “Baligh” program during the current period, and to monitor and report any observations or readiness-related needs immediately, ensuring they reach the competent authorities and that necessary measures are taken swiftly to fulfill required tasks to the highest standard.
He stressed the necessity of treating observations and needs with urgency during this phase, and enhancing integration and coordination with maintenance and services departments and competent authorities in various educational areas, thereby supporting rapid response to field needs and completing remaining works according to the actual priorities of each school before welcoming students.
The Ministry of Education clarified that activating “Baligh” during this period is part of strengthening field monitoring and organizing a mechanism to track school needs. The program has contributed to linking schools, educational areas, readiness teams, and relevant sectors within a unified electronic system, starting from recording an observation or need at the school level and referring it directly to the competent authority, through to monitoring the measures taken, completing required works, and closing the report.
The Ministry explained that this mechanism has helped shorten the documentation cycle, reduce the need for paper correspondence and multiple procedures between entities, ensuring that school needs reach specialized teams quickly and enhancing coordination among engineering, technical, services, supplies, and warehouse teams, as well as concerned entities. It also provides updated data and indicators regarding reports, completion rates, and existing observations, supporting priority setting and rapid decision-making.
In this context, the Ministry of Education commended the efforts made by the Engineering Affairs, readiness teams, and relevant technical and service entities, as well as the work completed during the summer break related to school preparation and addressing observations received via the “Baligh” electronic program. It confirmed that this circular serves as a continuation of these efforts and coincides with the return of school administrations, enabling the tracking of any remaining needs or observations and addressing them directly.
The Ministry noted that readiness teams and competent authorities followed up on more than 13,000 reports related to 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 via the “Baligh” electronic program during the summer break. Of the total reports received, 8,602 (65.2%) have been completed and resolved, approximately 20.5% are currently being worked on, and 14.3% represent new reports that are being processed.
The Ministry of Education emphasized its continued intensive monitoring in the coming period, and the intensification of efforts by relevant sectors, readiness teams, and competent authorities to complete ongoing reports and works. It stressed that activating the “Bligh” (Report) system in schools during this phase enhances the speed of identifying and addressing needs, and reinforces integration between the field and the concerned sectors, thereby contributing to raising readiness levels and completing the necessary preparations to welcome our student children with the launch of the 2026/2027 academic year.
