The New Saudi Educational Renaissance: In between the "Capacity to Aspire" and the "Capacity to Remember"
Pavan, Annalisa
Higher Education Studies, v4 n5 p37-46 2014
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investments in higher education have increased exponentially in recent years, and the New Saudi Educational Renaissance is attracting the attention of international academia. The purpose of this study is to draw on Saudi sources, with the aim of allowing Saudi voices to introduce their strategies for the design of a Saudi Arabian way to knowledge society, which will be a product of the "capacity to aspire" and the "capacity to remember" (UNESCO, 2002) of the Saudi nation.
