The "New Curriculum" topped the list of the most circulated in Saudi Arabia after two Saudi singers published pictures that they said were new curricula that have undergone dramatic changes in their content, especially regarding the emergence of successive Saudi states and the battles they fought against the Ottoman Empire.
Although these amendments have not yet been formally issued, the photos circulated by the tweets show how the Ottoman Empire fought the first and second Saudi states and supported some local leaders against King Abdul Aziz, the founder of the third Saudi state. These methods alleged that the Ottomans tortured some of the first Saudi imams, and the restrictions on the people of Al-Ahsa and Asir, and the displacement of the people of Medina.
It also cited battles and events in which the Ottoman forces tried to extend their influence over the various tribal areas of the Arabian Peninsula, describing these forces as invaders.

These descriptions came in the context of introducing the curricula to the history of the Arabian Peninsula and the civilizations and the successive countries.
While a number of tweeters welcomed these changes, which they saw as a blow to the last strongholds of the so-called `` Akhong '' in education, considering that the curricula were "hijacked" by them in the past decades, others considered that no matter how the curriculum changed and manipulated to conform to the dominant culture, there will come a day for the compatibility of the book and the year.

Saudi Arabia is seeking to reformulate the curriculum and rid it of any influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and the removal of any staff sympathizes with them, according to a statement published last year by former Education Minister Ahmed al-Essa.
The ministry is also working to combat what it calls extremist thought by reformulating the curriculum and developing textbooks, and ensuring that it is free from the banned Brotherhood curriculum.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in an interview with the US television network "CBS" that elements of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Saudi Arabia considers a "terrorist group", have infiltrated the schools.
Many Brotherhood activists in Egypt fled to Saudi Arabia in the 1960s after the regime of President Gamal Abdel Nasser pursued them, and huge numbers were employed in teaching and the public sector.
Saudi authorities arrest a number of sheikhs, scholars and preachers affiliated with the Awakening movement, most notably Salman al-Awda, Safar al-Hawali and Awad al-Qarni.
