Jeddah: The 27th session of the Arab League Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (ALECSO), presided over by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, commended the Gifted Arabs Initiative. This initiative, organized by the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) in collaboration with ALECSO, has played a significant role in supporting talented individuals across all Arab countries.
During the ALECSO General Conference, gratitude was expressed for the Gifted Arabs Initiative, which has been instrumental in creating an encouraging environment for talent and creativity in the Arab world for the third consecutive year. This recognition came in the presence of the Minister of Education and Vice Chairman of the Saudi National Committee for Education, Culture, and Science, Yousef bin Abdullah Al-Benyan, as well as ministers and heads of national committees for education and science from 22 Arab countries.
The Gifted Arabs Initiative reflects the Kingdom’s com
mitment to sharing its pioneering experience in discovering and nurturing talented students with the Arab world and supporting Arab youth in utilizing their energies and capabilities. This is achieved through the development of a specialized assessment to identify talented and creative individuals in the Arab world, taking into account the diverse Arab environment and culture. The assessment is based on a scientific methodology that incorporates the best global educational practices. Moreover, it involves supporting identified students through a range of high-quality programs, both in-person within the Kingdom and remotely, and free of charge.
