Jeddah Hosts First International Forum on Higher Education Giftedness

Jeddah will host Saudi Arabia’s first International Forum on Giftedness in Higher Education on September 3rd to 4th at the University of Jeddah’s conference centre. The event, held under the patronage of Education Minister Yousef Al-Benyan, will bring together educators, researchers, and students to discuss how universities can better support gifted students.

The program includes keynote talks, panel discussions, student showcases, and workshops, alongside exhibitions of award-winning student projects. Organisers say the forum is part of wider efforts to link education with the labour market and encourage innovation in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
