Ministry of Education launches ‘Educators’ Voice’ initiative

The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Office for Climate Education (OCE) and Alef Education, has announced the launch of the “Educators' Voice” initiative, aimed at recognising the crucial role of educational professionals in raising awareness and addressing climate change while preparing for its potential impacts. The initiative will be showcased during COP28, which will be hosted by the UAE in Dubai Expo City in November. This cooperation with the OCE aims to encourage educators to participate and present their climate projects from all over the world. It also aims to organise side events related to climate action in the Education Pavilion, which will be opened for the first time in the history of COP. Additionally, it intends to consolidate a distinguished legacy for the post-COP28 era by translating all the OCE’s resources into Arabic to be widely used and distributed in the MENA region. Dr. Amna Al Dahak Al Shamsi, Assistant Under-Secretary of the Care and Capacity Building Sector at the Ministry of Education, emphasised the importance of the Educators’ Voice initiative in empowering and preparing educators worldwide while fostering their innovative and creative potential. This initiative reflects the significant role they play in equipping the next generation
