ALECSO was represented in this Forum by Dr. Mohamed Jemni, Director of the ICT Department, who, in a statement he delivered on behalf of Dr. Mohamed Ould Amar, Director-General of ALECSO, stressed that ALECSO is keen to coordinate with Arab States to follow up on progress in implementing the Education 2030 Agenda, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, and particularly SDG4 which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. He indicated that ALECSO and some of its partners launched, on September 17, 2022 at the UN Transforming Education Summit, an initiative designed to promote global digital solidarity, reduce the digital divide among students, and help low-income countries keep pace with digital transformations. This initiative proceeds from the belief, held by UNESCO and shared by ALECSO, that education is a means of transforming lives, eradicating poverty, and achieving justice among people.

Mohammad Almadani, CEO of “Classera”, offered a presentation about e-learning and its future in the Arab world in the post-pandemic era, and the importance of having advanced, inclusive and smart systems for developing education and achieving the sought effectiveness.
