Can You Help? Sheikh Mohammed Wants Your Ideas

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has called for concerned individuals to put forward 'innovative ideas' to benefit the education sector ahead of a retreat he's hosting next week.

Sheikh Mohammed followed up publication of the article by calling on the UAE's  citizens and residents to suggest creative ideas for health and education via his Twitter account.

The two day session will be attended by all federal ministers and there will be just two items on the agenda, education and health, according to the UAE's official news agency WAM.

"The session will come up with resolutions that can overhaul the health and education sectors," according to the statement carried by WAM.

Sheikh Mohammed said: "The education and health sectors are the UAE's main national issues yet the progress attained so far does not meet our aspirations and expectations."

He added that the development of education was a historic responsibility. "We ask youth, men and women to suggest ideas and proposals on the development of education and health. We are looking forward to the largest national brainstorming session to discuss new solutions. I'm optimistic because citizens rise to the occasions whenever approached to contribute to innovative ideas."

The content of the discussions will  be submitted to a specialist panel for further analysis during the session before being finally agreed by the Cabinet. An announcement of the findings will be made immediately following the meeting's conclusion.

In the spirit of the enterprise WhichSchoolAdvisor.com is calling on all of our readers to submit ideas which they believe would benefit the UAE. We will forward the ideas to the committee. If you do have ways you believe the education sector could be improved, please leave your ideas below, or write to us at editor@whichschooladvisor.com.
