The Ministry of Education has adopted a new classification of education directorates in the Kingdom, dividing them into three organizational models of varying sizes, with the aim of standardizing the mechanism for estimating human needs and achieving justice in the distribution of the workforce accurately.

The Ministry explained that the three models include directorates classified as "large, medium, and small," indicating that this classification was based on three main criteria: the number of students at 40%, the size of the workforce at 30%, and the number of schools at 30%.
