Estedad

The National Ambassadors Program “Estedad” is an enrichment and capacity building initiative launched by the Ministry of Education in June 2020, which aims to provide high school students with essential skills to enable them to prosper in various fields where research, soft skills, entrepreneurship, leadership, and diplomacy are highly needed. In addition, it provides students with the knowledge and tools required to apply to universities.
