RIYADH — A total of 1,613 Saudi students under the King Abdullah Foreign Scholarship Program have completed their studies from 12 of Australia's most prestigious universities.



Speaking at a graduation cum career day event in Brisbane, Australia, on Friday, Minister of Higher Education Dr. Khalid Al-Anqari said the graduates included those who have completed their master's and PhDs.



He said some of them have graduated with a C average, but this will not be a hindrance to employing them in Saudi universities even though they require a B average for employment.



He said some Saudi universities did not attend the event because of time constraints.



He promised there will be more participants next year.



Many graduates were disappointed when Saudi universities rejected their employment applications because they failed to obtain a B average, while some institutions have refused to rejected several graduates even though they obtained a B average because they scored only a C in their undergraduate program.



The Saudi Basics Industries Company (SABIC) has refused to accept women applicants, claiming that there are currently no jobs available for women.



Abdul Latif Jameel Group has asked women computer graduates to submit their applications through its Bab Rizk Jameel gateway.



Some 50,000 students of both sexes, who are part of the King Abdullah scholarship program, graduated this year from universities in different parts of the world.

50,000 Saudis to graduate from top 500 universities by 2020

Target already achieved?

------------------------

When will we see Pakistanis graduating in batches like this from world famous universities and coming to Pakistan to serve the nation. Well, who cares for the development of the common man and the nation.

As per constitution written decades and decades ago all children are entitled to quality education, but today 11-Aug-2014 what do we see on the ground? All the politicians including the relgious clerics who are in bed with the politicians by not saying to them that they are doing wrong are to be blamed and let me remind them of the hadith which says all of you “All of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects, the man is a guardian of his family, the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husband’s house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects.”

And as such they will be asked how did they use their power and authority granted to them, what good did they do in the world for the benefit of those who were under them or were in charge of.

Well done

Very good. I stopped counting the number of Saudi Arabian students that have graduated at top level universities across the world in the past decades and especially since 2005. It's a shame that many of the most talented of them settle in the US, UK, France, Germany etc. In some ways you can't blame them though.

The number is significantly higher than the one in that thread (50.000).

More importantly them the current universities in KSA are all improving a lot and many new ones are planned. Important educational reforms have also taken place.
