Bahrain's School Bus Heroes Honoured for Their Dedication
As the 2024/2025 academic year comes to an end, the Ministry of Education in Bahrain has extended heartfelt thanks to all its teams, including a group of often unsung heroes—school bus drivers. These Bahraini drivers, part of the Ministry's Transportation and Postal Services team, played a key role in ensuring that students arrived at their schools safely and on time every day. Known for their discipline, patience, and kind-hearted nature, the drivers earned the appreciation of students, teachers, and school staff across the country. Among them is Habib Ali Marhoon, who has been proudly serving for 31 years. Over the decades, he has become a familiar and trusted face among students and teachers. 'This job requires patience, accuracy, and a strong focus on safety,' he shared. 'With the support I receive from my supervisors, I've always felt motivated to give my best.' Another driver, Sayed Jaafar Jawad Sharaf, has been on the job for 13 years. He explained that his work goes beyond just transporting students. 'I also deliver textbooks and school supplies, and sometimes handle transportation for school activities. Time management is key, especially when there are multiple stops in one day,' he said. Since 2002, Jameel Mukhtar Ali has stood out for his calm, focused approach and high team spirit. His dedication has made him a role model for others. 'The encouragement we get from school staff really keeps us going,' he noted. Driver Hassan Abdullah Ahmed expressed his gratitude for the Ministry's recognition, saying, 'It means a lot to see our efforts acknowledged. This job is not just about driving—it's a human job that requires patience, attention to detail, and good manners.' These personal stories highlight how these drivers contribute quietly but powerfully to Bahrain's education system, making sure every school day begins and ends safely.

Global Class, Local Legacy
TDT | Manama BSB Marks 30 Years with the Graduation of a Truly International Cohort They crossed the stage in caps and gowns, but what they carried with them was a legacy three decades in the making. The British School of Bahrain (BSB) celebrated the graduation of 134 students on Friday in a ceremony that honoured not only academic excellence, but also 30 years of shaping globally minded leaders rooted in Bahraini values. Held at Exhibition World Bahrain, the event was attended by H.E. Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, Minister of Education, and marked a significant milestone for a school that has become one of the Kingdom's most respected international institutions. A World-Class Cohort With students representing over 94 nationalities and heading to leading universities in the UK, USA, Europe, and the Middle East, the ceremony underscored both the diversity and the future-forward outlook of Bahrain's evolving education landscape. Executive Headteacher Liz Stanley praised the Class of 2025 as a true reflection of BSB's ethos: 'This graduating class truly represents the heart of what our school stands for – determination, innovation, and humanity,' she said. 'They leave us not only with qualifications but with a set of values and a vision that will empower them to lead, succeed, and make a difference in the world.' Among the graduates were two recipients of the Crown Prince International Scholarship Programme (CPISP) and several students awarded prestigious scholarships for higher education abroad. In her speech, graduate Bedoor Ahmed echoed the school's transformative mission: 'We leave as individuals shaped by incredible teachers, lifelong friendships, and an education that taught us not just what to think, but how to think.' 30 Years of Excellence The celebration also marked BSB's 30th anniversary —a testament to the school's enduring commitment to excellence. Over the years, BSB has cultivated a nurturing, inclusive environment that now serves nearly 100 nationalities and delivers a curriculum focused on character, creativity, and critical thinking. A proud member of the Inspired Education Group, which operates more than 119 schools globally, BSB follows a Three Pillars approach —balancing academics, creative arts, and sports. The model has yielded strong results, with over 90% of Inspired graduates gaining admission to their first-choice universities. Looking Ahead As the Class of 2025 embarks on new journeys, they do so with more than just diplomas. They carry the legacy of a school that for 30 years has prepared students to lead with knowledge, compassion, and a uniquely Bahraini global perspective. 'BSB has always believed in the power of education to change lives,' said Stanley. 'That power lies in staying rooted in our values while embracing a world of possibilities.'
