Dubai Declaration for Action on OER, outlining concrete steps to advance inclusive and equitable

quality education.

Many countries have made exceptional progress in implementing UNESCO’s OER

recommendations, with their initiatives set to be highlighted at the congress. For instance, in
Cuba, the Virtual Health University transformed healthcare education by providing flexible,

accessible, OER-based learning for professionals, even in remote areas. Furthermore, Madagascar
addressed exceptionally to COVID-19 challenges by launching an e-learning platform, distributing

tablets, and utilizing radio broadcasts to bridge digital divides in primary education. In addition,

Malaysia’s inclusive OER Policy ensures accessible resources to all, supported by the government
for educator training and technology investment. Meanwhile, Morocco’s 2024 national strategy
for OER and Open Science aims to modernize education and expand research accessibility, driven

by strong engagement from educators. These initiatives showcase diverse approaches to

advancing equitable access to knowledge through OER across different contexts.

The congress aligns with the objectives of Knowledge Summit, which has positioned itself as a
leading global event for the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and success stories. The impact

extends beyond discussions, providing a vital platform for introducing groundbreaking insights

and innovative ideas. By showcasing best practices, the summit provides actionable solutions for
pressing global challenges, making it an invaluable event for stakeholders worldwide.
