The Cabinet convened to review a study related to the Shura Council’s proposal titled “Enhancing Parental Care and Supporting Family Cohesion” and subsequently approved a series of measures aimed at reinforcing family support systems. Government officials presented plans to introduce a comprehensive package of programs, policies, and initiatives designed to bolster family stability and assist parents.
Key elements of the package include expanded parenting support services and benefits aimed at improving work-life balance for caregivers. Additionally, the government plans to enhance the quality and accessibility of nursery and kindergarten services as part of efforts to create a more supportive environment for early childhood development.
The initiative also emphasizes strengthening collaboration between families and educational institutions. Alongside this, intensified awareness campaigns are planned to promote sound parenting practices, family values, and the cultivation of national identity. These campaigns will be supported by media efforts targeting broad public engagement.
Further measures focus on improving interagency coordination and institutional integration to ensure that existing programs are leveraged effectively and gaps in services are addressed. The government underscored its commitment to building upon current initiatives to uplift quality of life and foster social cohesion within families.
The Cabinet characterized the approved measures as a reflection of productive engagement with the Shura Council’s proposal and highlighted the constructive cooperation between the two bodies in pursuing shared social development goals.
