The event brought together senior policymakers, academics, and researchers to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in education.

The symposium explored key questions shaping the future of learning, including the evolving role of educators in the Al era and the design of education systems that prioritise student growth, equity, ethics, and professional excellence.

In his welcome address, Jamal Abdullah Al Suwaidi, UAE’s Ambassador to Singapore, highlighted the longstanding relations between the two countries and their cooperation and strategic partnerships across multiple sectors, including education.

Reflecting on the UAE's forward-looking approach, he noted: “Just a few weeks ago, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, announced that starting next academic year, Al will be a subject in all stages of government schools in our country. This vision underlines our leadership's commitment to future-readiness and the development of human capital.”
