"The world outside school has changed and technology has now taken the centre stage. Teachers have to embrace technologies to make children learn faster and shape them into thinkers and innovators," Sheikh Abdullah said.
Sheikh Abdullah made the comments on Saturday during his speech at Qudwa 2017, a Global Teachers' Forum, held at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Held under the theme 'Teaching for Tomorrow', the forum has convened more than 900 education professionals from 80 countries to discuss latest global trends in empowering teachers and inspiring students. The two-day forum aims to empower teachers to improve the future of education.
"The goal of a new education system now is not limited to just teaching children, but to teach them how to think so they are able to be creative and innovative," said Sheikh Abdullah.
