UNESCO Doha Forum Opens
The fifth UNESCO Conference on Higher Education in the Arab States opened in Doha. Organized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in cooperation with UNESCO and the Qatar National Commission for Education, Culture and Science, the two-day conference is being held under the theme “The New Landscape of Learning in Higher Education in the Arab States.” Minister of Education and Higher Education Lulwa Al-Khater called for stronger cooperation among universities, continuity of education in conflict zones, frameworks for AI governance, and a stronger presence for the Arabic language in modern technologies. She noted that women make up 52% of bachelor’s students and 57% of master’s students across the Arab world. Meanwhile, 95% of university campuses in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, and 124 universities and technical institutions in Sudan have been destroyed or damaged. A UNESCO survey also found that only 19% of the higher education institutions surveyed had adopted formal AI policies.
