Saudi Arabia aims to increase the private sector’s participation in education from the current 17% to 30%, aligning with Vision 2030, Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan said on the sidelines of Education Investment Saudi 2025.

The government’s spending on the education system exceeds SAR 200 billion annually, Al-Benyan added.

“Vision 2030 focuses on fostering integration between the public, private, and the non-profit sectors, an objective that the ministry is actively working on,” he said.
