Mubarak Saeed Al Shamsi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Center for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ACTVET) spoke about the 'Emirates Model in Digital Transformation and Distance Learning in the Technical and Vocational Education Sector'.
Al Shamshi emphasised on the success of the UAE leadership in curbing the Covid-19 pandemic, working early in providing technical, material and moral support to all concerned institutions, including ACTVET, to enable remote learning for students as well as long-term development of the educational process in schools and universities.
He also pointed out that students of applied technology high schools affiliated with ACTVET had achieved remarkable success during the Covid-19 pandemic, representing about 80 per cent of the first high school students at the state level.
"This is a strong indication of the state's success and good leadership in enabling educational institutions general, technical and vocational education.

All of this work in accordance with the highest levels, curricula and modern educational methods. This prepares the Emirati students for specialised competencies, thus meet the requirements of the UAE's renaissance in its present and future, especially the post-oil phase."
