Noor System: A cornerstone of digital transformation in Saudi education
The Noor electronic system, launched by the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is one of the most prominent national digital transformation projects and a key pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 in the education sector. The system is no longer merely an online portal for checking results; it has become an integrated educational platform that aims to connect all stakeholders in the educational process—students, parents, teachers, and administrators—within a unified digital system. The system is designed to facilitate and automate all administrative and educational procedures, from registering new students and recording grades, attendance, and absences to issuing certificates and academic reports, thus contributing to increased efficiency and reducing the administrative burden on the teaching staff.
The importance of the Noor system and its impact on the educational process
The importance of the Noor system lies in its role as a direct bridge for effective communication between schools and families. It empowers parents to monitor their children's academic progress and school behavior in real time and with precision, thus strengthening their role in the educational process and supporting the school's efforts. Nationally, the system provides the Ministry of Education with a central and comprehensive database, enabling it to analyze data and make strategic decisions based on accurate information. This positively impacts the development of curricula and educational policies in the Kingdom. Furthermore, the system represents a successful regional model for implementing e-governance in the education sector, inspiring many neighboring countries to adopt similar technological solutions.
Steps to inquire about student results via the Noor system
As the school year draws to a close, parents and students are increasingly looking for a quick and easy way to access results and reports. The Noor system provides this service in a few simple steps, which can be followed through the parent's account:
