Saudi Arabian women are one of the best performing international students at higher learning places in the Western world and the ME. Primiarlity that is seen in the US where you have 30.000 Saudi Arabian female students at US universities. More than any other nationality outside of Chinese, Indians and South Koreans. The first two whose population are 40 times bigger than that of KSA.

This news is actually nothing new and it's a common sight for Saudi Arabian to succeed academically.

Just look at the numerous threads I have made about the achievements of Saudi Arabian women.

I believe that the most important thing right now in KSA is to integrate women on all levels of society and I lament some of the laws such as the ban on women driving which is a huge embarrassment and extremely bad publicity.

Arab women played a big and very underrated role in science, rule of governance and they even participated in wars in the nearly 1500 year old Islamic history. Yet somehow they regressed in the past 200 years or so. This is thankfully changing but more need to change for me to be happy.

Its good for KSA. Contribution of women cannot be ignore for progress of a country. The best advantage for them is that they don't need to worry about study expenses and finances as most of you guys get scholarship from government to study in foreign universities

KSA had its first female olympians in 2012.

Besides this has nothing to do with women sports and women sports are one of the least important issues at all.
