Pearson Launches New Middle East Education Forum
New blog focuses international expertise on Middle East region.
Pearson has announced the launch of its new Middle East Education Blog, which will provide education stakeholders timely access to global education research and expertise. The new blog will draw on international expertise in education from across the region and around the world, with guest bloggers including some of the world's best known and most respected authorities.
The blog will feature weekly updates covering a spectrum of topics dealing with educational challenges and opportunities faced by countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Posts will deal with a variety of issues, including how to best harness the talents of the regionâ s current youth population and how technology can be exploited to promote learning outcomes.
Contributors will include education experts from Pearson itself, as well as leading education voices from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
Karim Daoud, who leads Pearson’s business in the Middle East and who will contribute to the blog, says it is a great way for education stakeholders to stay informed:
“Education is undergoing a period of rapid transformation, with new ideas and new products entering the industry at an unprecedented pace. The Pearson Middle East Education Blog will provide regular and timely insights and advice about what is happening in the world of education, relaying stories, projects and innovations from around the globe, and discussing what these developments mean for educators and learners in the Middle East. I am confident that this blog will become a ‘must read’ for educators, school leaders and education policy makers”.
Sue Mainey, Director of Marketing for Pearson in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia says that the purpose of the blog is to provide up-to-date information and promote meaningful conversation amongst the education community.
“We have designed this blog as a forum to engage those from the education sector in the most important debates impacting on successful education outcomes, both here in the Middle East, and further abroad. Whilst the blog will be a great way to access information, it will also be an environment in which informed players can provide their experiences and expertise, stimulating the kind of conversations we need to have in order to improve educational outcomes at all levels”.
The blog will be launched in December and can be accessed at https://middleeast.pearson.com/Blogsocialmedia/Blog.html
