The ministry hopes to develop a generation of scientists, creators and innovators as part of its new plan, Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi, Minister of Education, said at a Press conference on Wednesday.
He was speaking on the sidelines of an announcement highlighting details of this year’s Global Education Supplies and Solutions (Gess) and Global Education Forum (GEF).
“The great thing about Gess Dubai is that it brings all of the leading education companies together, so it means that educationalists can attend the event and see, touch and talk to these companies and find out which one is best suited for their institution,” said Sharief Fahmy, CEO of F&E Group, organiser of the GEF and Gess.
The show will take place on February 24-26 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Gess and GEF are free to attend for the public, while educators visiting the show are ensured of gaining CPD credits that they can use for professional career advancement.
