Dr. Maria Tawalbeh, TAG-EDUQA executive director, stated that the ‘participation of this number of teachers from ten Arab countries underlines and signifies the growing need for inclusive educational solutions based on AI, particularly, as the second batch of the Diploma builds on the success of the first batch, and provides practical tools that are measurable and directly applicable in the classrooms’.

For his part, Mr. Riadh Mohammad Zammali, representative of Global Vision Foundation, said, “We aim to transform quality principles and rules into tangible classroom and family practices. AI is a tool to achieve educational fairness, and not a goal by itself.”
