MPs have renewed their call for the government to expedite the establishment of a Bahrain University (UoB) campus in the Muharraq Governorate.
Five MPs, led by Mohammed Al Olaiwi, stressed that establishing a Bahrain University branch in Muharraq is not only an educational necessity, but also a long-standing wish of the people living in the governorate.
Mr Al Olaiwi explained that students from Muharraq face significant difficulties travelling daily to the university’s campus in Sakhir, particularly after the suspension of the official university transportation service.
“The residents of Muharraq have been waiting for this project for years,” Mr Al Olaiwi said.
“It represents a dream for our youth and families who see higher education as their path to a better future. But for many, that dream is becoming harder to reach.”
The MPs highlighted that many students lack access to private vehicles and that their families cannot afford to buy them cars to facilitate daily travel to and from Sakhir.
The long journey, often exceeding an hour each way, has become a major obstacle for many students pursuing higher education.
