• محتار أي تخصص أدخل
• ماذا أدرس بعد الثانوية

Included

• public route /how-to-choose-university-major
• route name major-choice.index
• search-focused guide based on Masarak's decision flow:
  • افهم نفسك
  • افهم الخيارات
  • قارن بوعي
• covers interests, abilities/readiness to learn, study nature, values/goals, real constraints, and exploration
• avoids promising one perfect major or treating one test as a final answer
• links to the career-interests page, specialization catalog, and scientific foundation

SEO-09 — Public scientific foundation

Included

• public route /scientific-foundation
• route name scientific-foundation.index
• public explanation of what Masarak measures and what it does not claim
• Holland RIASEC as the primary vocational-interest measurement model
• approved six Arabic RIASEC labels
• SCCT and SEVT described as supporting frameworks rather than automatic RIASEC score inputs
• explicit scientific boundaries:
  • not an intelligence/ability test
  • not a mental-health or comprehensive personality diagnosis
  • no guarantee of academic success, employment, or income
  • no uniquely correct major claim
  • no presentation of scores as comparison to an unavailable Yemeni national norm
• links to core scientific sources and to the user decision journey

SEO-10 — Internal linking + visible breadcrumbs

Included

  • career interests
  • major choice guide
  • scientific foundation
• visible breadcrumb added to the specialization catalog:
  • الرئيسية → دليل التخصصات الجامعية
• visible breadcrumb added to specialization detail pages:

Shared SEO integration
