The Kingdom of Bahrain has won the membership of the International Bureau of Education (IBE) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), representing the Arab States Group, during the UNESCO’s General Conference in France and the meetings of its committees.

Education Minister, Dr. Majid bin Ali Al-Nuaimi, extended sincere congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on the occasion.

The new achievement proves the distinguished status enjoyed by the kingdom thanks to the wise leadership of HM King Hamad in all fields, including education, he said, highlighting UNESCO’s respect and appreciation for the kingdom.

The IBE was established in 1925, as a private, non-governmental organisation, and became an integral part of UNESCO in 1969.

Its mandate is to strengthen the capacities of member states to design, develop, and implement curricula that ensure the equity, quality, development-relevance, and resource-efficiency of education and learning systems.
