Their booths sought to explain the UAE’s higher education system and leading scientific research, as well as its stature as a popular academic destination for students from around the world.
Dr. Hassan Obaid Al Mheiri, Assistant Under-Secretary for Accreditation and Educational Services, Ministry of Education, said that the UAE is an attractive destination for young people and students of various nationalities, while pointing out that education fairs, including the exhibition, create opportunities for sharing the best global practices in the education sector.
"Through the 'Learning in the UAE' platform and our partner higher education institutions, we aim to share our expertise in the field of education, as well as help students learn about the most important developments," Al Mheiri said.
