The department also hosted regular morning and evening Quran sessions, culminating in 12 complete Quran recitations (Khatmas). This reflects the consistent and structured nature of the educational programs tailored for diverse age groups.

To boost the quality of learning, the administration launched 14 innovative teaching methods. These contemporary techniques greatly improved the learning experience and overall outcomes for participants.

There was strong community involvement, with over 500 new registration requests received. In addition to educational initiatives, 24 community activities were executed, generating a total of 137 community service hours. Such efforts are aimed at reinforcing social ties and endorsing values like unity and cooperation.

She highlighted that ongoing dialogue with participants has been crucial in fostering trust and enhancing program quality.

Furthermore, she noted that these programs align with the department’s “Closer to the Community” strategy. This strategy merges in-person and digital learning to ensure a lasting educational impact while enhancing quality of life and familial stability within the community.
