Al Qassim further explained that the ministry will implement the framework and its diverse range of
activities and programs from early childhood education to the third cycle of schooling. He

cultural activities both inside and outside of school using innovative tools. These activities are
integrated into the extracurricular programs available in public schools.

engagement. In-school cultural engagement provides students with innovative, hands-on
experiences and museum field trip preparations aligned with the programmes focus themes.
Similarly, cultural engagement outside school includes conducting field trips to cultural sites and
libraries.

integrated across all courses, along with online guides for pre- and post-visit learning and teaching
materials.
Finally, the community cultural engagement strengthens connections between schools and their
communities, promoting sustainable engagement with families and reinforcing the programme’s
focus themes.
