The Ministry of Education has set the 5th of Rajab as the deadline for the information snapshot in the Noor system
The Saudi Ministry of Education has set Thursday, the 5th of Rajab, 1447 AH (corresponding to [insert Gregorian date]), as the final and decisive date for conducting a comprehensive data snapshot through the Noor electronic system. This decision comes as part of the Ministry's efforts to ensure the accuracy of the digital data upon which strategic decisions and operational plans for the entire education system are based.
Noor System: The backbone of digital educational transformation
The Noor electronic system is one of the most prominent technological achievements of the Saudi Ministry of Education over the past decade, representing a qualitative leap in the history of school administration in the Kingdom, transforming traditional paper-based transactions into a fully integrated digital environment. Since its launch, the system has become the primary and sole reference for all educational processes, from registering new students and recording grades and attendance to managing teacher transfers. Updating the system's data is crucial as part of the Ministry's strategy to align with the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which is based on digital transformation and e-governance.
Details of the deadline and compliance procedures
The Minister of Education sent an urgent letter to all education departments in the regions and governorates, emphasizing the need to mobilize administrative efforts to complete and update data before the deadline of December 25, 2025. This deadline marks the end of the process for approving the entered information, after which modifications for statistical monitoring purposes will cease. The Ministry has mandated that school leaders and relevant departments strictly adhere to the guidelines to ensure that the figures recorded in the system accurately reflect the actual situation in classrooms and administrative offices.
The strategic importance of information snapshots
The "data snapshot" is not merely a routine procedure for counting numbers; it represents the cornerstone of the Ministry's educational and economic planning. Based on the results of this snapshot, operational budgets for schools are determined, the actual need for teaching and administrative staff for the upcoming academic year is calculated, and the quantities of textbooks and school supplies required are identified. Any deficiency or inaccuracy in this data could lead to a waste of resources or an inability to meet needs in some areas, making data accuracy a shared national responsibility.
Real-time monitoring to ensure quality
In a related context, the General Directorate of Digital Transformation, represented by the Statistical Reports Department, is monitoring input indicators in real time. This rigorous procedure aims to enhance transparency and spending efficiency, ensuring that educational services reach millions of students and teachers with the highest quality standards. This reflects the educational leadership's commitment to leveraging Big Data to improve the learning environment and enhance educational outcomes.
