In this issue, Bahrain This Month turns the spotlight on education – one of the most important decisions facing parents as they prepare for the upcoming academic year. With families across the Kingdom considering their options and thinking carefully about their children’s futures, we’ve taken the opportunity to explore the ever-evolving sector in Bahrain.

We’ve reached out to a wide range of schools across the Kingdom to find out what sets them apart and why they believe your child should be learning with them. From international institutions to home-grown centres of excellence, each one brings a unique vision and approach to nurturing young minds.

Education in Bahrain is changing, and fast. What was once a traditional, classroom-bound system is now evolving into something far more dynamic, thanks to the Kingdom’s growing investment in technology and innovation. With Vision 2030 as a guiding framework, Bahrain is working hard to ensure its students are not just keeping up with the world but staying ahead of it.

In recent years, schools across the country have embraced a digital shift. Coding, robotics and virtual learning are no longer niche subjects – they’re becoming part of everyday education. The push for this transformation gained serious momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need for remote learning highlighted the importance of digital tools and flexible teaching methods. Now, that urgency has turned into long-term strategy.

The Ministry of Education has been central to these changes, teaming up with global tech partners and rolling out major initiatives like the Digital Empowerment in Education Project. From interactive smartboards to AI-assisted platforms, classrooms are becoming more connected, more responsive and, crucially, more engaging.

It’s not just schools feeling the shift. Universities and training institutes are also revamping their programmes to better match the demands of the modern workplace. Virtual reality labs, cloud-based coursework and even blockchain systems for secure certification are slowly becoming the norm. These developments are designed to give students the practical, future-ready skills they’ll need in a tech-driven world.

Furthermore, as the Kingdom continues to become a cultural melting pot, language centres such as Berlitz Bahrain are thriving as our community integrates on a deeper level.

In this month’s feature, we also explore how education in Bahrain is being reimagined for a new era. We look at the schools pioneering these changes, the technologies making a difference and the people working behind the scenes to prepare the next generation for a future we’re only beginning to understand.
