Muharraq: Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, Minister of Education and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Higher Education Council, conducted an inspection visit to a university site in Muharraq.

Dr. Juma met with the university’s management and staff. He checked on the well-being of employees who were injured at the site during the shelling, wishing them a full and speedy recovery, and surveyed the damage across the university’s facilities.
He commended the civil defence teams and relevant authorities for their rapid response and high level of efficiency in securing the site and protecting public safety. He also commended the distinguished efforts of all those working within the educational and pedagogical fields during this time.
Dr. Juma further confirmed that the educational process across all institutions in the Kingdom is continuing as normal through digital platforms temporarily.
