For her part, Dr. Jamali discussed the major transformations taking place in the labor market, pointing
out that six million new jobs are expected to be created over the next decade, while 40 percent of the

unprecedented challenges.
Dr. Jamali explained that the AI revolution has redefined traditional digital skills, expanding their scope to
include adapting to AI systems, analyzing big data, and solving complex technical problems. She called
on universities to develop innovative curricula that equip students with the tools and knowledge needed
to enter the labor market confidently and effectively.
Dr. Hadj-Hamou stressed that education is going through a critical transformation phase, which requires
redesigning teaching programs to become more compatible with the requirements of the accelerating
labor market, and that universities bear a great responsibility in preparing new graduates with skills that
enable them to enter the labor market and compete in it. She stressed the importance of innovation in
teaching methods, pointing to the need to introduce modern educational tools such as simulations, video
clips, and experiential learning, which enhance the learning experience and make it more relevant to
practical reality.
Dr. Hadj-Hamou also underscored the role of technological innovation in creating personalized
educational programs that empower individuals to achieve their professional goals. She emphasized
that flexible and integrated education is vital to meeting the aspirations of future generations and urged
academic institutions to integrate new initiatives into curricula to keep pace with labor market dynamics.
