The focus on technology at schools has taken center stage in recent years, especially with the introduction of the UAE Ministry of Education's flagship 'Smart Learning' Initiative. The initiative seeks to establish a unique learning environment in schools through the introduction of 'Smart Classes', utilizing tablet PCs and high-speed 4G networks as a means of acquiring knowledge.
On February 3rd, Samsung announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 'Smart Learning' outlining a framework to tap into Samsung's innovative digital convergence technologies to help build a world-class educational environment in the UAE. Samsung's other projects in the UAE include introducing education solutions in Abu Dhabi Education Council, Sharjah Education Council, Higher College of Technology, Brighton College, GEMS Schools, Dubai Police Academy, Supreme Education Council Qatar, Bahrain University and Ministry of Defense Oman.
Samsung's solutions encourage students to learn from each other's success and mistakes. Smart software also allows teachers to create more engaging personalized lesson plans, which helps to create a classroom of students with the critical skills necessary for a knowledge based economy.
"By utilizing Samsung's solutions, schools and education institutions will be able to easily transform a conventional setting into a Smart classroom". Continued Mr. Narayan.
