As part of a partnership between Egypt's National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) and the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University in the US, Egypt is getting ready to launch the global '100 Million Learners' initiative. This initiative is championed by the Thunderbird School and its launch coincides with the school's delegation visit to Cairo, led by Dr. Charla Griffy-Brown. The initiative is set to be launched in Egypt under the patronage of the President of the Republic, with representatives from relevant bodies attending. This move aims to boost the capabilities of Egyptian learners and prepare them to compete in international markets, especially with the rapid changes and challenges facing the global economy.
Supporting Sustainable Development Goals and Egypt Vision 2030
This initiative helps the government achieve several UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also boosts the implementation of Egypt's Sustainable Development Strategy, 'Egypt Vision 2030,' by developing the skills and knowledge needed to keep up with global job market demands. The initiative is expected to have a wide-ranging positive impact by offering advanced educational opportunities that support entrepreneurial skills. It will also help prepare human resources to handle the demands of the technological future and rapid digital transformations.Free Global Education Based on Self-Learning
The '100 Million Learners' initiative offers a digital certificate based on self-learning. Its goal is to equip learners with the essential knowledge and skills needed to succeed in entrepreneurship and build their own projects. The initiative also provides full scholarships at no cost to learners. This ensures access to high-quality education with global standards and expands the reach of specialized educational programs to various target groups.Tags
