Statement by H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al-Awar

Chancellor of HBMSU

On the International Day for Digital Education

“On this occasion, it is imperative to underscore UNESCO’s landmark decision to designate
March 19 as the International Day for Digital Education, a pivotal milestone catalysed by an

Emirati proposal. This designation by the esteemed international body not only underscores
the UAE's strides in modernising education but also symbolises global acknowledgment of the

nation's pioneering role in advancing digital education. Commemorating this global
observance serves as a resounding affirmation of the pivotal role universities, institutions and

educational entities play in fostering innovation and leveraging digitalisation to enhance

learning experiences. It underscores their role in advancing education and reshaping the future
of learning systems, further shedding light on digitisation’s qualitative impact on curricula,
methodologies, and tools.

At the forefront of this transformative journey stands Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart
University (HBMSU), renowned as the epicentre of smart learning and a trailblazer in digital

education across the region. Embracing its mission with dedication, the University spearheads
the digital transformation of education, disseminating expertise in integrating digital

solutions. This ensures a more adaptable, interconnected, and holistic educational paradigm,
aimed at equipping future generations to better address diverse challenges. On this

momentous occasion, we, at HBMSU, reaffirm our commitment to fortify the foundations of
a digital educational ecosystem, prioritise learner empowerment and embrace innovation,

technology, and foresight. Through these efforts, the University aims to elevate education
locally, regionally, and globally.”
