Higher Ed for Generations
At the opening of UNESCO’s Fifth Conference on Higher Education in the Arab States in Doha, Nasser bin Hamad Al-Henzab, Chair of UNESCO’s Executive Board, said that higher education is a long-term investment in people, development and the future of generations. He said universities have a role not only in preparing young people for the labour market, but also in fostering ethical responsibility, equal opportunity and critical thinking. He noted that 269 million students worldwide are enrolled in higher education, and called for sustained investment to improve quality and equity. He also urged Arab states that have not yet ratified the revised Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications to join it, helping to promote academic mobility. Al-Henzab stressed that artificial intelligence should be used to serve people, not replace their thinking, and called for continued implementation of UNESCO’s preventive plan to protect education from attacks. He praised Qatar’s efforts in education and in advancing the goals and indicators of Sustainable Development Goal 4.
