This year’s theme is Global education: knowledge-based economies for 21st century nations and as registration for the conference is open until February 15, this year’s conference is on track to be the most popular Going Global event ever. Leaders from over 70 countries will be in attendance, including twelve Ministers or former ministers, 58 Vice Chancellors or Pro-Vice Chancellors, and 263 Directors or Rectors from the world’s leading educational foundations and organisations.
Peter Clack, the British Council’s Head of Education, MENA, said: “We are delighted that so many higher education leaders from Egypt will be joining us at the conference in Dubai. We are expecting more than 220 delegates from the Middle East and North Africa in total and we look forward to their contribution to the conference and the mingling of so many of the region’s best higher education minds.”
As well as global education issues, the conference will offer a chance for a specific look at higher education in MENA, particularly looking at partnerships and the co-creation of knowledge, encouraging enterprise in education and quality assurance in the region.
