Abu Dhabi – The Emirates College for Advanced Education (ECAE) has announced its participation at GITEX Global 2025, the world’s premier technology event, taking place from 13 to 17 October at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The college will represent Abu Dhabi’s educational leadership as part of the Abu Dhabi Government Pavilion.

This participation underscores the college’s role as a leading hub for educational advancement and empowerment, both locally and internationally.

A central feature of ECAE’s program at GITEX Global 2025 will be the “AI for Educators” workshop series, specifically designed for 500 UAE public-school teachers. In collaboration with Ministry of Education (MOE) and hosted by expert trainers from ECAE’s Center for Continuing Education, these workshops will provide practical, hands-on training in the integration of AI tools and technologies into classroom teaching. Three workshops will be delivered daily, each lasting four hours, and will take place in the Abu Dhabi Government Pavilion. This initiative directly supports the UAE’s “We the UAE 2031” vision as well as the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence, ensuring that educators are equipped to drive the future of learning in a digital era.

These projects reflect the college’s commitment to nurturing future-ready educators who can create practical solutions to strengthen the UAE’s education system and benefit school communities nationwide.

Beyond its workshops and student showcases, ECAE will leverage the international platform of GITEX Global to expand collaboration with local and global partners, sign new academic and industry partnerships, and promote the exchange of best practices in educational technology. This outreach aims to further empower the teaching profession and drive innovation in teaching and learning across the UAE.

In line with the UAE and Abu Dhabi’s priorities to integrate AI across government and education, we are committed to preparing teachers with the best practices and practical applications of ethical and responsible AI. This ensures that AI is effectively embedded in classrooms, enabling teachers to lead innovation and drive student success in a rapidly evolving digital landscape”.
