9/8/25, 9:45 AM A Statement by H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University on International Literacy Day
As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of
Dubai, affirmed in his book “My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence,” that “teaching our children
through traditional methods alone is a new form of illiteracy that has no place in any society aspiring to join the global
race.”
In line with this vision, HBMSU has developed an innovative educational system rooted in smart transformation and
lifelong learning. This model enables the dissemination of knowledge and empowers individuals to learn anytime and
anywhere, with fewer resources and in less time compared to traditional approaches.
On this occasion, I call upon policymakers, educational institutions, and universities to unify efforts and adopt smart
learning models, which over the past decades have proven their effectiveness and leadership over traditional
systems in combating illiteracy and expanding access to education for all.
