| Summary |
Most experts would agree that creating a first-class, modern education system is essential to achieve comprehensive national development. To this end, the United Arab Emirates has taken initiatives and launched projects that focus on improving the education system in the country, linking them to development, as per international standards, and to the needs of the labor market. As the UAE seeks to implement its ambitious development plans, all concerned parties must focus on enabling the education system to realize these goals. To help serve the UAE's national education and development objectives, the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) held its 6th Annual Education Conference, titled "Education and Development: Toward a Modern Education System in the UAE," on October 27-28, 2015. Based on the conference's proceedings, this book identifies and analyzes the many challenges linking education to development, including the resistance among students to enroll in vocational education and training courses; building better links between the private sector and higher education and research institutions; and ensuring that the education system meets the needs of the labor market. The scholarly ideas presented within are followed by practical recommendations to develop a modern education system in the UAE. |
