Digital Education In British School Abu Dhabi
From the point of view of the foundations, the results can make a valuable contribution to the implementation of the strategy adopted today by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in the Dubai. In the private schools in Dubai, will be working together, which have already begun to change their school and teaching culture in order to respond to the demands of learning in an increasingly digital world. They bring together their experiences and jointly work out the fields of development, which are crucial to the success of digital education at private schools in Abu Dhabi.
To understand and classify them, children need the knowledge they acquire at school more urgently than ever before. This is also borne out by the binding competence framework which the Conference of Ministers of Culture and Cultural Affairs has defined in its strategy. Among other things, with the school, we would like to contribute to the implementation by bringing together schools that have already set off and can bring in good ideas.
The private schools in Abu Dhabiprivate schools in Abu Dhabi start in early 2017 and are scheduled to last for one year. During this time the schools meet several times as a whole network as well as in individual working groups in order to develop possible answers to fundamental questions of implementation. The private schools in Abu Dhabi are scientifically supported by an advisory board. The results will be presented at the end of the year at a conference.
It was crucial for the selection of the schools that they had already made their way to school development and wanted to reflect openly on their own successes but also on failure and development requirements. In order to gain the best possible transferable insights, it was also important that they shape the change under conditions that are comparable with those in other schools. Finally, the selection should also reflect the diversity of the schools in Abu Dhabi city systems - with participant schools from all the federal states and all major schools: from basic, comprehensive, secondary and vocational school or gymnasium to the school.

The Education Digitization Forum is a joint initiative of the Dubai Foundation. The focus of their activities is the question of how digital media can help solve educational challenges. Through their initiative, the foundations foster the dialogue between all actors in the educational landscape and bring together selected experts from the fields of practice, science and administration in order to make their experience of digital change in education available to as many other educational institutions as possible. Other partners are invited to participate. More information about the initiative and the at British schools in Abu Dhabi.
