Dr. Al Mudhahki emphasized that all these accomplishments and milestones made by the Authority and other national institutions, were due to our wise leadership directives and the support provided by Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa who is credited with creating this competitive environment among government and private authorities, institutions and ministries to institutionalise the rights of Bahraini women, to continue to step up their efforts in achieving further national accomplishments and accessing high ranking positions. The Authority's winning of this Award confirms that it implements and applies all the goals of the national plan for the empowerment of Bahraini women in partnership with the Supreme Council for Women.
Dr. Al Mudhahki congratulated all the BQA's employees for the continuous success in serving our beloved nation, and praised their role and efforts in developing and promoting the education and training system in the Kingdom of Bahrain, as well as assuring the quality of the performance of education and training institutions to achieve all the goals of the empowerment of Bahraini women wishing everyone all the best in serving our beloved Kingdom, strengthening and promoting its position in all fields.
