نبذة عن كتاب The Future of Education in the UAE: Innovation & Knowledge Production

This book is based on the proceedings of the Fourth Annual Education Conference of the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR), entitled “The Future of Education in UAE: Innovation & Knowledge Production” held on September 17-18 2013.
The aim of the Conference was to raise awareness of the growing importance of investment in human capital to build a knowledge-based society, values of citizenship, a skilled workface to achieve sustainable development and the ability to compete globally.
This volume supports the UAE’s ongoing efforts to develop an effective education system that prepares its students and educational institutions to become catalysts for innovative research and development, and to allow the nation to grow in stature within the global economy.
Presented here is a compilation of selected speaker’s papers, which puts forward a clear and useful set of recommendations for future education policy, outlining the latest perspectives on educational reform, and aligning those ideas with the practical realities of the country’s current education system.
This provides an opportunity for a better understanding and greater awareness of the issues raised, and the development of appropriate solutions to meet the present and future challenges facing the development of the education system in the UAE.
