Sunday, the Minister of Education Muhammad Abu Qudais announced that a special option has been allocated on the national online vaccination platform for workers in the education sector.

This came following the royal directives instructing the government to prioritize vaccinating workers in the public and private education sectors, in order to ensure a safe return to schools by the beginning of the next academic year.

In a statement, Abu Qudais explained that all they need to do is go to the Ministry of Health's official online vaccination platform, enter their national number and date of birth, and specify which governorate they wish to get vaccinated in.

He noted that workers in the education sector can choose the Ministry of Education from the drop-down menu to specify the sector they work in.

He called on all employees of the education sector to register for vaccination to protect their safety and health.
