Speaking at the ceremony, Director of the Public Relations and Communication Department at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education Maryam Abdullah Al Mohannadi said promoting sustainability awareness among students was an integral part of the ministry’s mission to build a generation conscious of its responsibilities towards the environment and the country’s resources.
She noted that sustainability was rooted in Islamic values that encourage moderation, responsible consumption and the proper utilisation of resources.
Al Mohannadi stressed that sustainability was not the responsibility of specialists alone, but began with simple everyday practices. She highlighted the role of education in transforming sustainability from a theoretical concept into conscious behaviour practised by students and extended to their families and the wider community.
Chief Executive Officer of Seashore Group Salem Saeed Al Mohannadi said the award’s five-year journey had gone beyond competition to become an initiative aimed at embedding environmental awareness and developing a more conscious and responsible generation.
He emphasised the need to move from raising awareness to establishing sustainable practices, turning environmental initiatives into daily habits among students at school, at home and in the wider community.
