RIYADH: More countries are beginning to give extra focus on human capital development and early childhood education.
Saudi Arabia, for example, acknowledged the importance of investing in human capital, especially children at an early stage, and had carried out various programmes for that purpose.

The organising of the 1st International Conference on Total Quality Management (TQM) in K-12 Education here, which aimed to develop societal partnerships between governmental, civil and private sector organisations to support TQM in K-12 Education, was proof that the wealthy today were also those who had knowledge.

Organising committee chairman, who is also Saudi Arabian Minister of Education Prince Faisal bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Saud, said human capital development was very important, and that providing children with good education should be viewed as the responsibility of everyone.
“Our oil will eventually dry out. What is important now is to invest in human capital development,” he said during a courtesy call on Malaysian Prime Minister’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who was here for a three-day visit from Jan 8. — Bernama
