Dr. Muhadditha Al Hashemi, Chairperson of SPEA, stressed that digitalising their courses programmes in order to make them accessible to a wider cross-section of people via the e-platform reiterated the authority’s belief in exploring and utilising wide-ranging smart solutions to advance educational output. She noted, with this partnership, Sahab has assumed a central role in helping SEA achieve its goals of developing the skillsets of staff in educational institutions.
“We are confident that such partnerships will help SEA play a pivotal role in advancing and increasing the competitiveness of the educational sector in Sharjah, which is aligned with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to build a knowledge-based society,” Dr. Al Hashemi added.
For his part, Amin Al Zarouni, CEO of Sahab, said that their company’s expertise is backed by vast experience in providing customised smart solutions to various government bodies, which has significantly improved the latter’s public services and other offerings.
