PARIS: The Sultanate of Oman participated in the Digital Learning Week 2025, organised by Unesco at its headquarters in Paris. The theme for the event is: "AI and the future of education: Disruptions, dilemmas and directions".
Majid bin Said al Bahri, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education for Administrative and Financial Affairs and head of the Omani delegation, affirmed that participating in such international platforms allows for the exchange of expertise and visions on the future of education. He highlighted Oman's commitment to keeping pace with technological developments and leveraging them to serve sustainable development goals and enhance the efficiency of the national education system.
Digital Learning Week will discuss how to utilise these technologies in a fair and ethical manner. The goal is to ensure the improvement of education quality and the achievement of digital equity, without compromising human values or human effectiveness in educational decision-making. This comes amidst the rapid transformations in the education sector due to the increasing integration of artificial intelligence technologies.
The dialogue sessions and academic discussions during the week will address challenges facing education systems, such as digital surveillance, systemic biases and the decline of human accountability linked to AI ethics. They will also review future trends that could reshape education to be more inclusive and sustainable. - ONA
