Given the security stability witnessed in Saudi Arabia, and the attempts to improve the education sector, enhance the living conditions of the population, and integrate them into a single society, especially the Bedouin, these were the initial steps following Abdulaziz's entry into Riyadh in 1902. This was particularly evident after he consolidated his control over the country and eliminated his rivals, the Al Rashid family. From that time onward, he aspired to develop the country and find alternative solutions to the deteriorating reality that Saudi Arabia was experiencing, characterized by poverty, instability, widespread ignorance, and backwardness. He focused on improving their economic and social conditions. One of his first steps was establishing the Hijra system, which aimed to stabilize the Bedouin population and reduce their nomadic lifestyle. Abdulaziz believed that political and security stability could only be achieved through the dissemination of knowledge and education among the population. He worked to support education in every way possible and continued in this endeavor until 1932 when he succeeded in unifying the country and naming it the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He chose the title of King for himself, and as a result of his policies... His wisdom led the country to enjoy security, stability, and economic and social prosperity in all fields, whether in the agricultural or industrial sector, internal and external trade, roads and transportation, and in the field of education, which he gave great attention to as the basic pillar in the progress and prosperity of the country. The health sector also had a share of the development that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia witnessed. Therefore, King Abdulaziz was considered the founder, leader, and one who laid the correct foundations for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
