Al Hawaj hosts annual Ramadan gathering

Ambassadors from different countries joined in the festive occasion organised by Al Hawaj family

Al Hawaj has hosted its annual Ramadan feast at Al Hawaj Garden in Budaiya which was attended by more than 300 guests comprising Minister of Information Isa bin Abdulrahman Al Hammadi, ambassadors, dignitaries, diplomats, VIPs, famous actors and actresses, media persons and other guests.
Ambassadors from different countries joined in the festive occasion organised by Al Hawaj family, presided by Jawad Al Hawaj and Abdul Wahab Al Hawaj; in the presence of their brothers, Dr Abdulla, Col. Majeed, Hussain, and Ahmed. The event also honoured renowned Kuwaiti actor Saad Al Faraj for his significant work in the film industry; as well as popular actors and actresses from the hit TV series Sawalef Tafash.
The move is part of Bahrain's ongoing programme of enhancing and modernising its education system, and the ministry will be working with international partners, including UNESCO and leading foreign educational institutions.
Enhancing the education system's nurturing of students' so-called soft skills has been a government priority for some time, as has the related aim of developing critical thinking skills. In common with several other Gulf states, and indeed countries across the world, Bahrain is shifting from a system based on rote-learning to a more nuanced and pupil-focused model which seeks to do more than just impart knowledge.
