Perspectives on Education in the ME

Perspectives on Development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region
Journal · pp. 105-118
Abstract

The education system gets more difficult considering the complications and conditions that the ME has been experiencing for a century. The education system in areas where there is political strife necessitates methodical formulation of policies to ensure access to education. This chapter highlights four aspects, the educational system’s perception, the educational providers’ perspectives, the engaged individuals’ perception, and the transformation perspective in light of digitalising education. In the 4IR, digital education, in particular, is a decisive asset in establishing a transitional economy where long term partnership, engagement with the external expertise, assuring transparency, as well as skilled workforce are fundamental requirements discussed in this chapter. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
