Rising fee of education institutes, increasing
adoption of learning management systems by the
growing corporate and education sector, use of
modern technology and private players entering
the space are expected to drive Saudi Arabia
Education Industry in the future. The report
titled Saudi Arabia Education Industry Outlook
to 2022 - by Higher Education, K-12 Education,
E-Learning, Vocational Training and
Test-Preparation Education by Ken Research
suggests that more corporate houses adopting
e-learning and increasing number of women being
educating in the country will be key catalyst in
future. Poor quality of education by the local
schools in the Kingdom has encouraged the
government to allocate USD 53.3 billion for
education and training during its 2017 budget.
Relaxation of regulations pertaining to
investments in the countrys education sector has
led to the entrance of regional and global
players in the space. The Ministry of Education
of the KSA is making constant efforts to invite
private players, who can invest in building
schools across the country. GEMS Education, a
Dubai based market player, having international
schools all across the world, entered the Kingdom
2010. Other international players from the USA
and the UK also came in contract with the KSA
authorities to cater more number of students with
their best in-class education facilities.

Providing students with private tuition has
become an increasing trend among many teachers in
Saudi Arabia, which has led several teachers to
skim through syllabus and not providing
comprehensive coverage to the students.
Additionally, the teachers tend to charge extra
tuition sessions and demand high charges for
extra coaching they provide. In accordance with
leading English language daily newspaper
published in Jeddah, Saudi Gazette, Saudi
families were observed to spent on private
tutoring out of which Riyadh region spent the
highest amount in the year 2017. The Ministry of
Education, Saudi Arabia has set that it is
against their laws for teachers to offer students
with private coaching and has banned random
advertisements relating to private tuition. The
ban is issued because the government is unable to
ensure the quality and level of the teachers
educational background. In order to encourage
higher education in the Kingdom, the Ministry of
Higher Education offers various scholarship
programs, wherein the entire or a part of fee is
paid to the university by the government on
behalf of the students. Completion of schooling
and good academic background makes a candidate
eligible to become the applicant. The increasing
inflow of students to the universities of Saudi
Arabia has led to a rise in the number of
scholarships being offered to the most suitable
candidates. However, scholarships offered through
KASP are only available to students attending
academic institutions that are approved by the
Saudi government. American colleges and
universities must be on the Saudi Ministry of
Higher Educations approved institutions list in
order to be eligible to accept scholarship
students from the Kingdom.
