It aims to establish the science competition as the national festival for all schools, promote innovation, and channel student projects into entrepreneurship. Key initiatives include forming a Scientific Research Committee (SRC), improving project visibility, integrating science projects into the curriculum for grades 8-11, and securing sustainable funding. Collaborations with NGOs and the Ministry of Education will enhance support for these objectives.
