What about the education system in Saudi Arabia just memorizing the book or critique think?

Answer 1

For the most part, it's memorize and regurgitate, especially at the lower levels.
After all, this is a country that prizes (literally) rote learning (the annual Qu'ran recitation contest gives BIG prizes every year) but discourages or stifles "critical thinking" (I mean, what if the citizens started thinking critically about, say - Yikes - the Royal Family?)
But there are signs of a "loosening-up" at some of the higher levels (NOT the "religious colleges), especially among the private universities.
At the Institute of Public Administration, where I taught for 19 years, we discouraged memorization and tried to foster some critical thinking.

Answer 2

i am from saudi arabia.. and yes.. this is how it is here, i don't think that's good, because everyone will forget what they learned if they don't study it and only memorize it. i have lived in USA for 8 years, i studies 6th grade-12th grade in USA. i saw the difference in the way they teach here and the way they teach there. over there they make school fun, they add games, movies, days off, etc.. but here they don't do that, i really hope in the future the education system improves here.

Answer 3

Depends on the school.
The International schools are better while the government schools, like in most places, leave a lot to be desired.

But I think you'll find more memorising than average here. They are trying hard to change it though, right now.

Answer 4

A lot of politics has to do with education.
And no clear way for them, what to teach, and it seems no body serious in changing the way it has been conducted.
