Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University on International Literacy Day

“This year, the world observes International Literacy Day under the theme, “Enhancing Literacy in the

Digital Era.” This theme aligns perfectly with the mission of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University
(HBMSU) since its establishment, as the University adopted smart learning as a pioneering model that
leverages the latest digital technologies to prepare generations capable of addressing future challenges,
foremost among them illiteracy in the Arab world.

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.”
