Minister of Education Yousef bin Abdullah Al-Benyan has extended congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. This commendation follows the Saudi students' excellence in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2024 and the International Inventions, Innovations, Technology Competition and Exhibition (ITEX) 2024.

The minister highlighted that the students' outstanding performance reflects the attention and support given to education under the wise leadership in pursuit of regional and global excellence. Al-Benyan noted that Saudi students have won over 100 gold and silver medals, as well as major awards, particularly in ISEF 2024 and ITEX 2024, which are among the largest international competitions in science, engineering, invention, and innovation.

"This achievement reflects the efforts made to reach global championship platforms and represent the Kingdom in the best manner possible. It also demonstrates to the world the level we plan and aspire to achieve, with national efforts and distinguished partners," Al-Benyan stated.

He also extended his thanks and congratulations to the students and their families, teachers, and education partners who contributed to motivating the students and enhancing their capabilities. This includes the King Abdulaziz and his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity "Mawhiba", Tuwaiq Academy, and Misk Schools, for their fruitful collaboration.

The achievements at ISEF 2024 and ITEX 2024 underscore Saudi Arabia's commitment to fostering talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The success of these students is a testament to the robust educational framework established by various institutions within the Kingdom.

Al-Benyan's remarks come at a time when Saudi Arabia is increasingly focusing on education as a cornerstone for future development.

The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is a prestigious event that brings together young scientists from around the world.

Saudi Arabia's educational initiatives are designed to provide students with opportunities to excel globally. The support from institutions like Mawhiba, Tuwaiq Academy, and Misk Schools plays a crucial role in this endeavour. These organisations offer resources that help students develop their skills and compete internationally.

The recognition from Minister Al-Benyan serves as an encouragement for future generations of Saudi students. It underscores the importance of education in achieving personal and national goals. The accomplishments at ISEF 2024 and ITEX 2024 are milestones that highlight Saudi Arabia's progress in education.
