Jeddah Education Department: Comprehensive review of performance indicators to enhance school quality

In a move aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and improving the quality of educational outputs, the Jeddah Education Department , headed by the Director General of Education in the governorate, Professor Manal bint Mubarak Al-Lahibi, reviewed today a set of institutional performance indicators, as part of its ongoing efforts to identify and address the challenges of the educational field in accordance with the latest administrative practices.

Strategic alignment with the goals of Vision 2030

These intensive efforts by the Jeddah Education Department come within a broader national context, as the education sector in Saudi Arabia strives to align with the goals of Vision 2030 , specifically the Human Capital Development Program. Reviewing performance indicators is a fundamental pillar for ensuring the educational process remains on track. These periodic meetings aim to bridge the gap between current realities and desired outcomes, and to ensure that the school environment fosters creativity and excellence, rather than being merely a place for rote learning.

These reviews are of particular importance in light of the major transformations taking place in education, from digital transformation to curriculum development, which calls for administrative vigilance and careful monitoring to ensure that ministerial standards are applied with high accuracy.

Analysis of field challenges and opportunities for improvement

The meeting featured extensive and in-depth discussions that went beyond simply reviewing statistics, delving into the challenges facing schools in the field. Educational leaders focused on:

• Analyzing data received from schools to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
• Discussing the operational obstacles that may affect the academic achievement of male and female students.
• Develop urgent corrective plans to ensure the sustainability of progress in institutional performance.

Director General, Manal Al-Lahibi, stressed that regular and continuous follow-up is the cornerstone of the success of any strategic plan, noting that the ultimate goal is to serve hundreds of thousands of male and female students in the governorate, and to provide a quality educational experience befitting the Kingdom’s status.

Expected impact on the quality of education

The outcomes of these meetings are expected to have a positive and tangible impact on the educational community in Jeddah. By refining performance indicators, the efficiency of administrative and teaching staff will be enhanced, the classroom environment improved, and learning outcomes strengthened. Through this continuous monitoring and development process, the administration seeks to create an attractive and stimulating learning environment that contributes to building a globally competitive generation, reaffirming its full commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality and institutional excellence.
