Future of Education Forum at WGS 2025 Explores Transformative Learning Models
Dubai hosted the Future of Education Forum as part of the World Government Summit (WGS) 2025, held from 11–13 February under the theme 'Shaping Future Governments.'
The forum brought together education ministers, global policymakers, and experts to discuss transformative education models in the digital age.
The event served as a global platform for knowledge exchange, focusing on expanding education access, fostering international collaboration, and leveraging AI-driven digital solutions to enhance learning experiences.

He highlighted the need for radical inclusion, ensuring quality education for all despite challenges.
The forum featured five key sessions and two ministerial roundtables, with participation from 50 distinguished speakers, including 20 education ministers and over 300 attendees. Key discussions included aligning education with future workforce demands, the role of AI in learning models, and improving access to education in underserved communities. Alternative education pathways and digital credentials were also explored as tools for lifelong learning and skills development.
A session on 'Redefining the Role of the Teacher' examined the evolving responsibilities of educators in the digital age, emphasizing their contributions to economic growth and national productivity. Experts debated integrating digital expertise into formal education frameworks to complement traditional teaching methods.
Two ministerial roundtables complemented the discussions. 'The Future of Education' gathered over 50 global leaders to explore education as a strategic investment, while 'Accelerating Access to Education and Skills in Africa' focused on expanding educational reach through digital learning and partnerships.
WGS 2025 continues to serve as a global hub for leaders and experts, fostering collaboration and policy co-creation to ensure a sustainable and inclusive future for education worldwide.

DEWA Expands Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park Capacity to 3,860MW
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has ramped up the total production capacity of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park to 3,860 megawatts (MW), marking a major step forward in the emirate's clean energy transition. Announced by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, the increase includes 800MW added this year from the park's sixth phase. Clean energy now accounts for roughly 21.5% of DEWA's total production capacity. Al Tayer said the expansion supports Dubai's long-term strategies to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. 'The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is our key project to realise this vision and achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050,' he stated. Launched in 2013 with a modest 13MW capacity, the solar park has grown through multiple phases using photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. Notably, the fourth phase introduced hybrid solar systems, while the fifth and sixth phases continued expanding PV output. DEWA plans to raise the park's capacity to 7,260MW by 2030, which would supply 34% of the utility's total energy mix from clean sources. This transition is expected to cut carbon emissions by around eight million tonnes annually. Looking ahead, DEWA has invited global developers to participate in the seventh phase of the solar park. Set to feature a 1,600MW PV system and a 1,000MW battery storage system, the project will be one of the world's largest solar-plus-storage initiatives. The solar park is implemented under the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model, reinforcing Dubai's position as a regional leader in renewable energy innovation. News Source: Emirates News Agency

e& UAE Sets Global Benchmark by Achieving 600Mbps Uplink Speed on Live 5G Network
e& UAE has set a new global standard in 5G connectivity, achieving an unprecedented uplink speed of 600Mbps on a live commercial network—marking a major milestone in the evolution of 5G-Advanced technology. The breakthrough was accomplished by aggregating the 2100MHz and C-band frequencies in the FR1 range and deploying three transmit antennas (3Tx) on a commercial Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). Fully aligned with 3GPP Release 17 standards, the deployment took place at a live 5G site in the UAE. This record-setting uplink speed is a critical step forward for uplink-intensive applications, enabling real-time data uploads for smart factories, drone surveillance, cloud-hosted collaboration, and immersive AR/VR experiences. For content creators and consumers, the enhanced speeds mean faster uploads of high-definition videos and seamless cloud gaming. 'This isn't just a technological breakthrough—it's a strategic leap,' said Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Vice President of Fixed Access Network at e& UAE. 'We're setting the stage for a hyper-fast, uplink-driven digital world, reinforcing the UAE's position as a global tech hub.' The achievement showcases the practical readiness of 5G-Advanced networks, powered by features like enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). It also lays the groundwork for a new wave of smart connectivity, as the industry moves toward scalable and energy-efficient network deployments. With this advancement, e& UAE has not only raised the bar for global telecom standards but also unlocked new potential for enterprises and consumers alike, paving the way for a truly connected future.
