•The proposed program (covers AI fundamentals, creativity, educational tools, and research) provides Kuwait students with an incredible opportunity to benefit from Berkeley University's expertise.
• The collaboration between the Department of Education and Berkeley University “will contribute to unlocking the potential of young people and helping them to succeed in a world filled with challenges and opportunities.”
The Ministry of Education has approved the initiative proposed by Berkeley University to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Kuwait's education and training systems. According to the Al Rai newspaper, the initiative includes the establishment of AI research institutes in secondary schools across the country.
The initiative responded to a proposal received by U.S. ambassador Sheikha al-Zain Saba al-Nassar al-Sabha, the US ambassador of Kuwait, during a meeting with faculty and coordinators of the Artificial Intelligence Program at Berkeley University.
Mona Salem, representative of the general ICT supervisor of the Ministry of Education, has produced a report highlighting the Ministry's strong interest and deep appreciation for developing and increasing the skills of young people in this important field.
She expressed her support from the Department of Education's Department of Education's goal of launching a published AI lab with the aim of integrating AI into education and providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
She noted that the proposed programme involves teaching the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, promoting creativity through AI, using technology as an educational tool, and participating in research and innovation activities in this field.
She noted that collaboration with Berkeley University “will bring great benefits to students and the Kuwait education system in general.”
She proposed to form a joint working group consisting of representatives from Kuwait's Ministry of Education and Berkeley University to develop a detailed plan for implementing the proposed programme, which will accurately determine student needs and requirements to ensure the effectiveness of the programme and provide the resources needed for implementation.
She also proposed developing the curriculum and preparing new programs in the field of artificial intelligence to meet the needs of students, training teachers to use AI in classrooms, and supporting research and development in the field of AI in education.
She emphasized that the cooperation “will contribute to unlocking the possibilities of our youth and helping us to succeed in a world filled with challenges and opportunities.”
