Driven by a forward-looking vision to contribute to the development of education, the Emirati-Mauritanian partnership aims to digitally prepare teachers according to the latest global standards, creating transformative change in the educational environment in Mauritania. These efforts are embodied in an innovative training program targeting the qualification of teachers in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, enhancing their competencies and supporting the digital transformation of the educational system.
The Training Program for Professional Growth
The Digital School, part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, announced the enrollment of 340 male and female teachers in the “Digital Teacher Preparation Program” at the Teacher Training Institute in Nouakchott. This program is part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at equipping teachers with the necessary tools to keep pace with the era of digital education. It offers integrated educational pathways and enhances teachers’ professional capabilities in modern teaching methods, positively contributing to their educational journey.
Empowering Women in Education
With the percentage of female teachers rising to over 45%, the Emirati-Mauritanian partnership emphasizes enhancing gender balance in the field of education. Empowering women through these programs is a crucial step toward creating a more diverse and inclusive educational community, reflecting significant progress in engaging women in the educational sector.
Fruitful Cooperation with International Partners
This initiative results from close cooperation between the Digital School and the Ministry of National Education and Educational Reform in Mauritania, along with its partnership with Arizona State University. These collaborations contribute to providing advanced training content that aligns with global best practices. With 340 teachers entering the Global Digital Teacher Academy platform and applying the latest digital teaching methods, the impact of this collaboration on the quality of education in Mauritania becomes evident.
Investing in the Future of Education
In line with the Emirati-Mauritanian partnership’s vision for digitally preparing teachers according to the latest global standards, investing in teachers is one of the fundamental pillars for developing educational systems. Dr. Walid Al Ali, Secretary-General of the Digital School, emphasizes that integrating practical training with digital platform learning enhances teachers’ capacity to effectively convey knowledge. He also highlights the importance of continuing and expanding this cooperation to include other teacher preparation institutions, which will significantly impact the educational system in Mauritania.
