Njoud Majali – Co-Founder, NxtShow, said: “The virtual UAE Schools Fair is the result of a series of discussions between local parents and educators who agreed that there is a need to provide insights on how best to adapt to the present circumstances in terms of learning. The virtual event is an ideal venue to tackle a myriad of pressing concerns of parents and teachers, including home schooling, new teaching technologies and student mindfulness in the face of unprecedented challenges.”

Majali added that: “As such, the UAE Schools Fair will not only serve as a platform to give parents clarity on the participating schools’ learning methodologies and systems, and UAE learning institutions a chance to showcase their programmes, tools and practices. But more importantly, the virtual education fair will also highlight key subjects of local and global importance to help all stakeholders create a roadmap of the future of schooling in light of the unexpected changes we constantly face such as in the case of the current pandemic.”
