Safiah is an education supervisor in Saudi Arabia's public education sector, with 6 years of professional experience. She plans, coordinates and oversees continuing education programs that support lifelong learning and workforce development, which has shown her how policy and program delivery shape learning outcomes.
Why an MBA in Global Strategy
As her responsibilities grew, Safiah saw that this work needs strategy and a global perspective. She is studying the MBA in Global Strategy at Dominican University of California, with learning support from AreteUp, to:
- Strengthen her grasp of strategic planning and public-sector management
- Connect education initiatives with institutional and national goals
- Build leadership and analytical skills for complex public organisations
Applying strategy to continuing education
Coursework in leadership, strategy and management is helping her evaluate programs for long-term impact and improve coordination across departments. Exchanges with professionals from other sectors and regions are broadening her view of how countries approach adult learning.
“Continuing education plays a vital role in national development. The MBA helped me understand how strategy and management can strengthen education systems and expand their long-term impact.”
