By the grace and success of Allah, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the College of Education at Al-Qassim University was the first department to apply for programmatic accreditation at the level of the College of Education and similar departments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, last year and the current year 1442 A.H. / 2020 A.C.
