The university's board of directors will be headed by Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan, with Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Eng.

The board members include several high-ranking government officials and prominent figures in the private sector.

The transformation of King Saud University is in line with the Crown Prince's vision to develop the university into a leading academic institution globally by 2030.

The university aims to improve the quality of education and its outputs, attract talents and competencies, and prepare a generation with the highest skills to meet the requirements of the 21st century.

As the first university established in Saudi Arabia, King Saud University has a long-standing commitment to quality education, scientific research, and entrepreneurship.

The university's focus is on developing its graduates' skills and abilities for lifelong learning and arming them with knowledge to become future leaders of the nation.

The university also aspires to expand the base of scientific and literary studies in Saudi Arabia and contribute to discoveries and inventions.

Its primary goal is to serve education in Riyadh and Saudi Arabia, and be a leading institution regionally and globally in the field of university education to contribute to the development of the national economy.

The Crown Prince's order to reconstitute the board of directors of King Saud University is a significant step towards transforming the university into an independent, non-profit academic institution, and positioning it as a key contributor to the growth and development of the knowledge economy in Saudi Arabia.
