Microsoft MEA Innovative Education Forum

The Middle East and Africa Forum 2012 is a gathering of Educators, school representatives and education officials focusing on learning, sharing and presenting experiences in transforming education through technology. It aims at discussing, with education officials: the barriers and issues related to education reform and how adopting national ICT education strategies can be an enabler of better learning outcomes matching the economic challenges of the 21st Century. Integrating 21st century technology into Innovative teaching and learning, 1:1 computing as well as country capacity building are main discussion pillars. The event was held this year in Marrakesh and had around 200 participants (teachers, school representatives, education experts and press) from more than 25 countries. Our Makassed school was selected as a super mentor school and joined this event in preparation to worldwide forum which will be in Prague in November.
