In its efforts to progressively and successfully reach out to all schools, inJAz Bahrain in cooperation with its main partner, the Ministry of Education, is moving towards implementing the next phase of its strategic development. This phase intends to introduce its first intermediate level programme "More than Money" to 300 students.
inJAz Bahrain has consciously and timely selected the More than Money programme to instill the significance of earning, spending, sharing and saving money to the future generation, in addition to the businesses they can initiate or jobs they can undertake to earn money, particularly in light of the recent economic downturn. The programe has been created to provide the students with a better understanding of the relationship between what they learn at school and their successful participation in a worldwide economy through a variety of hands-on activities and technological supplements designed to support differentiated learning styles.
The programme will further encourage them to use innovative thinking while developing money-management skills that support positive attitudes as they explore and enhance their career aspirations.
"Career with a Purpose" is yet another new programme that is introduced by inJAz Bahrain to the secondary schools, offering the students with a wider choice of work readiness spectrum. Career with a Purpose looks forward to instill the importance of positive values in the students and assist them in ethical career decision-making as well as life in general.
Commenting on this latest development, Sheikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, Executive Director of inJAz Bahrain said, "We are extremely pleased to have been able to fulfill our target and reach out to the intermediate students by the set date specified in our strategic plan."
"We have full confidence that with the support of the Ministry of Education and all our partners we will cover all government intermediate schools within the next three years", she further added.
The number of classes to be reached out at both secondary and intermediate schools for the fall semester is 105 totaling the number of students to 2700, an increase of 20% from the previous year's fall semester.
