UAE on verge of embracing high-tech mode of learning - Shireena Al Nowais, Gulf News
Abu Dhabi: The UAE is on the brink of a revolution in higher education that will make use of the full potential of the Internet. Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Chancellor of the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), told Gulf News the UAE would move ahead with such innovations as online learning. "Technology has become an integral part of education. Many countries are offering programmes online," he said, adding that e-learning was destined to "shape the future." "Through e-learning, you can educate yourself in your own time and at your own pace. You don't have to leave your country to pursue your education anymore and it is cheaper for people who can't afford to study abroad."
