Experts and specialists in the field of education have confirmed that there is an urgent need to recognize the necessity of a radical change in the nature of the curricula being taught, especially in light of the presence of artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence represented by “GPT Chat”, so that these technologies provide more possibilities in preparing… Specialized educational curricula that take into account the needs of each student.
In detail, the Chairman of the Sharjah Private Education Authority, Dr. Muhadditha Al Hashemi, said during the Sharjah Education Development Summit yesterday that scientific research and studies have proven that the factors for the success of any educational system depend on scientific foundations and requirements, the most important of which is the culture of continuous improvement, which the Sharjah Private Education Authority has adopted since its inception. .
She explained that the results of school evaluation in 2018 constituted an unprecedented challenge, as only 8% of private sector schools in Sharjah were rated as good or above, and only 4% of schools were rated in the Arabic language for native speakers at a good level or above, and 15% Only percent of our students in Sharjah private schools receive a good education or above, and only 15% have trained and qualified teachers and school leaders, and zero percent of citizen teachers in Sharjah private schools.
