Digital Transformation: The Key to Unlocking Quality Education in the Arab World
According to Mohamed Jemni, Director of ALECSO, it is imperative to initiate digital projects to keep pace with the progress and changes taking place in the world. He highlighted that the higher education sector in the Arab world faces several challenges, including rapid demographic growth, increasing demand for education, and the need to keep up with global technological advancements.
Digital Transformation: A Strategic Solution
Jemni emphasized that digital transformation is the strategic solution to enhance the quality of higher education and ensure its sustainability. He stressed that this transformation is necessary for our era, citing the workshop on digital project management in the context of digital transformation in higher education.
UNESCO's Support for Digital Education
Jemni recalled that UNESCO is involved in developing interactive didactic platforms and providing advanced digital support. These efforts aim to improve the quality of education, making it more attractive to students and academics through the application of digital projects such as distance learning and virtual classrooms. This will enable Arab universities to reach students in remote areas, reducing the disparity in education between rural and urban areas.
Optimizing Resources through Digital Transformation
Jemni explained that digital transformation allows for the optimization of human and financial resources through proper planning and task sharing. This approach helps avoid risks such as data theft and program failures.
Unlocking New Scientific Horizons
Jemni highlighted the potential of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and Big Data, which open up new scientific horizons.
By embracing digital transformation, the Arab world can unlock the full potential of its education sector, providing high-quality education to all, regardless of geographical location.
