Under the patronage of the President of Jouf University, Prof. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Shaya, the University inaugurated today the “Momaken” Platform, a specialized digital system designed to empower students with disabilities and enhance their academic and educational experience. This milestone reflects the University’s deep commitment to applying national inclusion standards, promoting equal opportunities, and aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to build an inclusive, empowered, and thriving society.
