Ministry to focus on technology in UAE schools

Dubai:  The UAE education ministry is committed to introducing technology in schools, the education minister said on Wednesday, announcing the launch of the fourth edition of the Global Education Forum (GEF) and the Gulf Educational Supplies & Solution (GESS) show.

The event, organised by the education ministry in association with Fairs & Exhibition (F&E), will take place from May 3-5.

"The ministry is committed to ... provide advanced learning opportunities for students," Humaid Al Qutami, the Minister of Education, said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The selection of "Education in a knowledge society," as a key theme for this year's event is testament to the importance of embracing new channels and the dialogue between education experts and decision makers on the latest technologies to be used in educational institutions, he said.

Themes

The event focuses on special needs education, sustainable education and education for employability.

The themes of the event have been designed in line with the strategy of the ministry to improve aspects such as student outcome and school life, Dr Abdullah Mohammad Al Amiri, the advisor to the minister said.

This year's line-up includes published authors such as Dr Khalifa Ali Al Suwaidi, Assistant Professor at Department of Curriculum and Instruction, among many others.

Clive Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, F&E, said that GESS 2011 will see 30 countries represented at the event with over 250 exhibitors.
