UAE Digital School to improve quality of education for 100,000 students in Iraqi Kurdistan

 

The UAE’s Digital School and the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government have announced a new partnership aimed at supporting 100,000 students in need. The phase, supported by Dubai Cares, aims to improve the quality of education for tens of thousands of students over three years through advanced digital education services and methodologies. The initiative includes training digital teachers, developing a digital education platform in the Kurdish language, enhancing the region’s official education curriculum, and establishing digital education spaces within schools. The new phase also seeks to provide digital education tools, including over 1,650 computers and projectors, to facilitate effective learning environments.

The partnership builds on the successes of the first phase, which began in January 2022, with both governments keen to expand ties and explore greater horizons. The first phase involved the implementation of several digital education programs and teacher training initiatives, as well as the establishment of digital education centers. The primary objective is to offer students the necessary skills to confront future challenges.

The Digital School, initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in November 2020, is the first integrated digital school of its kind, offering a qualitative option for hybrid and remote learning in a smart and flexible manner. It currently serves more than 160,000 beneficiary students in over 13 countries and has trained scores of digital teachers.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
