Jazan preps for new school year

RIYADH: A series of community and field initiatives has been launched by the Jazan Municipality ahead of the new academic year starting next week. This includes distributing more than 50,000 gifts to students and more than 500 'Welcome back' signs being constructed at various locations in the city. A strong social media campaign is also planned across municipal and school accounts, while a solid plan has also been devised to ease the flow of traffic around 257 schools. Intensive cleaning operations have also begun in around 1,360 schools and surrounding areas in order to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the benefit of children, teachers and other staff.
