Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government Public Policy Forum is the UAE’s leading academic forum on public policy issues. It brings together a diverse number of world-class experts from the education sector regionally and globally to directly address the future challenges, opportunities and direction of education policy.  In light of the fact that education has been and continues to be a key driver for tangible progress and development in the UAE, the public policy forum on Education will focus on the roles of public and private sector in education provisions, capacity building in the sector, impact of reforms and how innovation and technology are being leveraged to improve outputs in the education sector

This forum will be a platform for policymakers and stakeholders to connect and drive change, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Public Policy Forum will contribute to advancing a sustainable education model in the region and to shaping the manner in which the sector is governed.

The March 12th & 13th event will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The Forum’s theme is “Future Direction in Education Policy” and will host key decision makers, international speakers in policy debates and round table discussions in order to identify challenges. It will explore the future policy requirements which can sustain the remarkable pace of development that education has seen in the UAE.

In particular I recommend education leaders, investors in education, members of the academic community and government officials to attend.  Follow this link  MBRSG Policy Forum Registration to make your reservation.
