The India's tech hub has lost 79% of its bodies of water and 88% of its green cover over 40 years, while areas covered by concrete have increased 11-fold
The initiative aims to create a new educational environment in schools. This involves distributing tablet PCs among all students and providing all government schools with 4G high-speed networks. These measures will improve the quality of education in line with the global scientific renaissance.
The workshop was organised to give teachers an in-depth understanding of the programme’s goals and to explain how they can implement this unique experience in the region. Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qattami, Minister of Education, highlighted the importance of the initiative in the ministry’s goal to upgrade educational standards in the UAE.
This will ultimately boost the UAE’s productivity and enable the nation to stay in touch with developments in the international education field. “The process of education demands teamwork and investing in the best human resources and expertise as well as support from all national bodies so as to keep up with the overall progress achieved in the UAE under the leadership of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Their Highnesses, Members of the Supreme Council and Rulers of their respective emirates,” Qattami said in his speech.
Dr Issa Bastaki, CEO of the Etisalat Fund and Information Systems, stated: “The programme extends over a period of five years and consists of three phases, including the introduction, implementation, follow-up and maintenance.
We aim to achieve the highest rate of success, by putting special emphasis on a gradual transition to smart concepts of education. We have already set up appropriate mechanisms so that each phase can be shifted successfully to the next phase.”
The initiative’s organisers strive to ensure the smooth operation of the educational system at schools across the country, and to enrich the curriculum.
This is particularly relevant because there is a new trend globally which has seen a transition to a more market-relevant form of education. Therefore it is vital to ensure that the output of the education sector matches the needs of the employment market.
The attendees of the workshop discussed the programme’s goals of improving education standards. This will be achieved by connecting deeply with students, encouraging their pursuit of knowledge and empowering them to learn, by giving them modern educational tools.
The programme also strives to instill the concept of global competitiveness, so that UAE students aim to be the best in the world. Furthermore, the programme aims to enhance the education system at all levels: from the school administration to teachers and students. These levels will then be linked with external stakeholders such as parents and policy makers.
