B.E.S.T Schools, KSA Celebrates Constitutionality

Dammam, KSA

The B.E.S.T Schools in KSA (New Al Wurood International School, Jeddah, and Al Khozama International School, Dammam) have been dedicated to fostering skills and values in students for over two decades. These pioneering institutions have significantly contributed to Saudi Arabia's educational landscape. With a focus on human excellence, the schools emphasize continuous learning, self-discovery, and advancement. They have consistently achieved exemplary results in all areas, promoting a balanced approach to social, psychological, emotional, and communal well-being.

The schools believe that inculcating constitutional values is crucial for developing responsible citizens and building a strong democratic society. To this end, they have implemented various programs to promote these values within their communities. The B.E.S.T Group of Schools provides dynamic and immersive learning experiences, leaving a lasting impact on students. They also celebrate major festivals following principles of equality, diversity, and secularism, while promoting respect for different customs, traditions, and ways of life.

Every year, the schools commemorate Constitution Day by reading the preamble to students and engaging in interactive sessions on fundamental rights and the constitutional structure. This event provides students with a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of the nation's founding principles and the framework that governs society. Constitution Day not only educates students about the importance of the Constitution but also encourages them to actively participate in the democratic process. Through discussions, students learn how their rights and responsibilities as citizens are protected by the Constitution. This fosters a sense of civic duty and empowers the younger generation to become informed and engaged members of society.

The B.E.S.T schools annually organize the prestigious International Kids Film Festival (IKFF). More than just showcasing movies, the IKFF is a captivating journey into imagination and creativity, imparting valuable life lessons. This annual event represents a significant advancement in visual entertainment, embracing a wide range of cultures, themes, and ideologies. Additionally, the feedback sessions provide students with a platform to express their opinions and concerns, further promoting constitutional values.

The Scouts and Guides program (affiliated with Bharat Scouts and Guides) promotes citizenship and civil obligation. It emphasizes the core values enshrined in the constitution and focuses on community service projects that reflect the socialist principles of teamwork. Beyond the classroom, it promotes outdoor experiences while instilling values such as leadership, equality, freedom of speech, and liberty.

Since 2011, the B.E.S.T Group of Schools has been hosting the B.E.S.T Model United Nations (MUN) Conference. This conference provides students with opportunities to collaborate with people of different nationalities and backgrounds, interact with peers from other schools around the world, discuss pressing global issues, and find solutions to global concerns in a formal setting. This experiential learning platform is designed to develop democratic processes and ideas related to societal duty.

The Youth Parliament, organized annually to replicate the Indian Parliament, plays a vital role in shaping future leaders. This unique platform provides young individuals with an opportunity to understand and experience the functioning of a democratic system firsthand. Youth Parliament serves as a training ground for aspiring politicians, allowing them to develop essential skills such as public speaking, critical thinking, negotiation, and teamwork. It offers a safe space for young people to voice their opinions on various issues affecting society and propose solutions that they believe will bring about positive change. Moreover, the Youth Parliament fosters a sense of civic responsibility among participants. By simulating parliamentary procedures and debates, it educates young minds about the importance of active citizenship and encourages them to engage in political discourse. This experience helps them realize that they have a stake in shaping policies that affect their lives and empowers them to become more informed and responsible citizens. Furthermore, Youth Parliament promotes inclusivity by providing a platform for diverse voices to be heard.

The B.E.S.T schools take great pride in commemorating significant national occasions, such as Republic Day and Independence Day, with unwavering enthusiasm and fervor. These celebrations serve as a remarkable platform for instilling a profound sense of patriotism and fostering a deeper understanding of our country's rich heritage, not only among our esteemed students but also among students of various nationalities. We believe in the importance of honoring our nation's milestones and embracing the diversity of our student body. Through these celebrations, we aim to cultivate a strong sense of national pride and unity, while also promoting cultural exchange and mutual respect among students from different backgrounds.

In honor of the momentous 75th Republic Day, the B.E.S.T schools orchestrated a series of vibrant cultural events that not only fostered constitutional awareness but also promoted unity among our diverse student body. The festivities were marked by an array of activities that showcased the essence of unity, diversity, and education. Notably, our exceptional Scouts cadets paid a magnificent tribute to the valiant freedom fighters in a truly awe-inspiring spectacle.

Moreover, the students of our esteemed KG section wholeheartedly embraced the spirit of the day by presenting captivating shows that encapsulated the pivotal principles of the Indian Constitution: unity in diversity. With great gusto, they performed patriotic songs and showcased their remarkable talents through a variety of cultural events. It was truly a sight to behold as these young individuals adorned themselves in costumes representing the diverse states of India, paying homage to their respective cultures and traditions.

At the B.E.S.T schools, we take immense pride in nurturing a sense of national pride and heritage among our students. Through these remarkable celebrations, we strive to cultivate a profound appreciation for our country's values and instill a deep-rooted love for our great nation.
