Higher education institutions in Saudi
Arabia are being pressurized to provide jobs to the local people and replace
expats academic staff. Hundreds of local Saudi professors’ job applications
have been declined by local universities though most of the universities are in
need of highly qualified staff. According to report in a local newspaper Al-Watan, most of the Saudi graduates from local universities have degrees in
Islamic studies and that less than 1% has science qualification.
Education is to accept other cultures and
learning new things. There was a time when King Saud University has students
from all over the world. It has teachers of various nationalities speaking
different languages. Universities in other parts of the world encourage students and teachers from everywhere. A great example is Princeton University (USA) it has students and teachers from almost 97
nationalities.
