Within
the framework of its caring for human development, which is the most
important basic factor in total development, King Faisal Foundation extends
its projects in serving education through King Faisal Schools, Prince Sultan
College of Tourism and Management, Effat College, in addition to Scholarship
Programs. Today it presents Alfaisal University as a contemporary Arab
academic university that has international scientific affiliations with
similar institutions. Alfaisal uses its expertise to develop educational
techniques and provide appropriate mechanisms to mobilize the wisdom of the
Creator of the human mind’s abilities in order to innovate and upgrade life.
It is obvious that the main handicap that retards Arab societies, in
general, is the low quality of education and the inability of its prevailing
systems and means – such as prompting and keeping by heart – to qualify
humans to be able to advance a society pursuant to a scientific rule that
adopts contemporary means and technology, and to fulfill the urgent need for
training the educated on thinking so as to reach the right decision.
It is illogical to confine the mission of upgrading education to the State
alone. It is unfair to the State and to the investment in the human element
that serves society as a whole. All of society must stand shoulder to
shoulder to carry out this mission.
Therefore, the aim of this University is to provide the student with the
educational level he seeks abroad, to be an example for voluntary work which
the private sector can contribute to the development of our homeland, and,
at the same time, to employ its abilities and research centers to serve
society, and to build bridges to the most advanced international sites in
educational techniques and tools.
