Dean's Message
Prof. Mohammed bin Khuzaym Al-Shammari
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all of his companions.
In alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which emphasize strengthening the education system and enhancing its effectiveness, and in accordance with the vision and mission of the University, the College of Education is committed to fostering an attractive academic environment through its graduate programs, with the aim of preparing graduates who are well equipped to meet the evolving demands of the labor market.
The College offers a range of master's degree programs, including Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership, Educational Guidance and Counseling, and Early Childhood Education. In addition, the College provides newly developed postgraduate diploma programs through the Optimal Investment in Educational Personnel Initiative. These include Higher Diplomas in Digital Skills, English Language, Life Skills, Critical Thinking, and Principles of Management.
During the initial phase of implementation, these diploma programs are designed for in-service teachers, enabling them to acquire an additional specialization beyond their original field of study. This qualification prepares them to teach newly introduced subjects across general education levels, including the new secondary school pathways.
Furthermore, the College regularly organizes training courses, seminars, and academic forums that serve various sectors of the community. Looking ahead, the College is committed to expanding its graduate offerings by introducing new academic specializations that address the evolving needs of the educational sector.
