Saudi Arabia's education authorities have withdrawn the operating licences of 74 private schools in multiple cities across the Kingdom, tightening oversight as part of a broader effort to protect student safety and preserve standards in the private education sector.
The decision was announced by the Saudi Ministry of Education following the identification of repeated regulatory violations at the affected institutions. Officials said the move reflects the ministry’s commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment and ensuring that private schools meet all approved educational and operational requirements.
