Bahrainthismonth.com August 2023 51 education The Greek philosopher Socrates once said: “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” In other words, true education is one which ignites the fire of inquisitiveness and leaves the selfsustaining flame burning. Bahrain’s incredibly diverse education sector does just that, invigorating the youngest children, bright-minded teenagers and young adults alike with award-winning facilities and staff. The oldest public education system in the Arabian Peninsula, with the first school opening in Muharraq in 1919, continues to grow and cater to a melting pot of cultures. This month, we are proud to present our education feature which highlights the philosophies, programmes and activities offered by some of Bahrain’s leading establishments to ensure that you can make the best decisions for your children.
