The week included a series of interactive workshops that were organized to build leadership capabilities and improve the quality of nurseries in light of the strategy that was developed by the Authority to raise their level. Through this week, the Authority seeks to develop the performance and efficiency of educational cadres in private schools and nurseries that fall under its umbrella.
