Bahrain Mirror: The National Audit Office report for the years 2016-2017 made several remarks regarding the Ministry of Education, stating that its actual spending exceeds the ministry's approved expenditure budget for 2016 by 7,414,708 million BD, with a total that amounted to 334,557,939 million BD.

The projects budget reached 10,380,801; however, a low rate of spending was noted during the year. This percentage reached 51%, which accounts to half of the amount set for projects.

The report explained that when project budgets haven't been spent or only included small amounts of spending, it leads to not failing to make the optimum use of the budgets, noting that they could be used in implementing more significant programs.
