The programme aims to equip male and female teachers in the region with modern digital teaching skills through an advanced training programme organised in partnership with Arizona State University, USA.

The initiative paves the way for a new phase of strategic cooperation between the Digital School and the Ministry of Education of the Kurdistan Regional Government. It builds on the success of the first phase, implemented with the support of Dubai Cares, which saw the training and certification of 2,400 digital teachers, laying the foundation for the expansion to 10,000 teachers.

This reflects the shared commitment to improving education quality, fostering educational innovation, and enhancing the readiness of the educational system to meet the demands of a technologyand knowledge-based future.

Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, and Chairman of the Board of the Digital School, affirmed that building teachers’ digital capacities represents a core focus of the Digital School's initiatives.
