Advocacy for democracy in the education system as a part of the Saudi Arabia’s vision 2030

Abstract

Saudi education is planning to infuse democratic values to the nation’s educational system. This literature review evaluates the implementation of democratic education in Saudi Arabia’s special education. The need to adopt and implement a democratic education is part of Saudi Vision 2030. Different reforms in the country’s education system, such as changes in teacher education and preparedness and the design of the educational curriculum are essential to realizing the vision. As a result, the literature concludes that KSA can incorporate democratic values into education through the content of curricula, the choice of teaching methods and teacher preparation programs, and student-centered approaches.
