Training Workshop for Directors and Executives of Education for Women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

UIL held a training workshop for directors and executives responsible for youth and adult education targeted specifically at women at national and provincial levels in Saudi Arabia. The aim of the workshop, which took place from 29 September to 10 October 2014 with the support of the Ministry of Education of Saudi Arabia, was to help the participants develop and review gender-sensitive policies and programmes in lifelong learning, tailored to the particular social and economic context of Saudi Arabia.

A follow-up strategy was discussed and adopted at the end of the workshop. According to this, participants will draft a proposal for a national adult learning and education policy within a framework of lifelong learning. UIL, for its part, will provide ongoing technical support and organise a workshop in Saudi Arabia in 2015 with the ministry of education and other partners.
