On the occasion, Education Minister Dr. Majid Al Nuaimi stressed the Kingdom's commitment to give special students of secondary school graduates scholarships and grants as a result of various services implemented by the Kingdom.

“It provides people with disabilities an opportunity for encouraging and recognising their extra efforts during their study period,” the Education Minister said.

He pointed out that the scholarships and grants allocated to these groups of people include visual and hearing disabilities. In addition, since last year Kingdom has also considered to commit to providing scholarships to students with cancer and other diseases along with students with disabilities.
