It is no secret that education builds long-term relationships within and between communities. These relationships will play a crucial role in building the Middle East of tomorrow.
Given the increasing skills shortage in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) and the abundance of young people in the region — half the population is under 25 years old — governments need to cooperate with the private sector in order to ensure that education is developed sufficiently to support and sustain strong economic development
This region has vast potential, and young people are more educated, more technologically literate, and more engaged with the news than ever before. We have seen much of their energy spill over into the streets of some countries, primarily out of a desire to live better lives. However, as the region continues to grow and evolve it will come up against the challenge of supplying the right people for the right jobs in its economies.
