Ladies Section
Strategic direction
The reforms initiated by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Adullah show his great support and respect for women (Fatany, 2009).
According to Fatany (2009) King Abdullah has vowed to remove obstacles that stand in the way of empowering women and has called for the integration of women into the work force.
Albeit It is important that the PSCJ Ladies College recognize the support of King Abdullah and take advantage of the opportunity to be a catalyst in providing opportunities for women to become empowered through education and training.
In developing strategic directions the College is mindful of the requirement to be transparent, flexible and adaptable. The six strategic directions are open for regular review and adaptation.
The six strategic directions of the PSCJ Ladies College are:
