Takaful begins student registration for the year 1448 AH with a confidential mechanism that preserves dignity
The Takaful Charitable Foundation announced this morning, Sunday, that it has begun accepting applications for financial and in-kind support for students in need for the upcoming academic year 1448 AH. This step comes as part of the foundation's annual strategy to provide assistance to male and female students in public schools through an advanced technological mechanism that ensures complete confidentiality and preserves the dignity of beneficiaries, moving away from traditional procedures that may cause embarrassment for students in front of their peers.
Mechanism for recording dignity reservations
The registration process for the "Takaful" programs is distinguished by its reliance on specialized school committees within the more than 16,000 schools covered by the system, distributed across all regions and governorates of the Kingdom. These committees identify needy students and register their data according to strict procedures that adhere to the highest level of confidentiality. Students and their guardians are not required to submit public paper applications; rather, the process is conducted through channels that protect students' feelings and consider their psychological and educational needs.
Government partnership for data auditing
To ensure that support reaches those who truly need it, the foundation relies on an advanced electronic verification portal that links its databases with three sovereign and service-oriented government entities: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, and the Ministry of Interior . This integrated system automatically verifies and checks data to confirm the family's financial and social status, thus reducing the possibility of human error and ensuring fairness in distribution.
Context of the initiative and its national importance
The Takaful Charitable Foundation is a vital pillar of the education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was established to bridge the economic gap that might hinder students' continued education. These initiatives are of paramount importance given the national focus on developing human capital , as education is considered the cornerstone of building a vibrant society and a thriving economy. By providing basic necessities (clothing, meals, school bags), the foundation contributes to creating an equitable learning environment for all.
Social impact and reducing school dropout
The role of "Takaful" extends beyond mere financial support to encompass profound educational and social dimensions. By bridging the financial gap between needy students and their more affluent peers, the organization directly contributes to improved academic performance and enhanced self-confidence among students, a crucial factor in reducing school dropout rates . Educational studies indicate that a student's psychological and financial stability positively impacts their academic performance and behavior within the school.
Appointments and leadership support
The foundation clarified that registration, which began today, will continue for three consecutive weeks, concluding at the end of the workday on Thursday, February 12, 2026. In this context, the foundation's Secretary-General, Dr. Mohammed Al-Aqili, expressed his appreciation for the generous and ongoing support from the wise leadership and the diligent follow-up from the Minister of Education, emphasizing that this gracious support strengthens the foundation's ability to fulfill its mission of building effective and successful individuals to serve their religion and their nation.
