”Mr Ali’s key note speech at the recent Taaleem-EdisonLearning Conference for the teachers and senior staff of the four government schools, which are currently working in partnership with Taaleem-EdisonLearning as part of the PPP programme, was inspiring and very relevant to the changing context of education in the Abu Dhabi emirate. The participants enjoyed the stories from Mr Ali’s life which were used to illustrate the main points as they found these amusing, humorous and empathetic to the challenges that they face on a daily basis. This was a lively presentation delivered in a relaxed manner which focused on the continuing promotion of the heritage and culture of the UAE within the context of educational reform, which chimed appropriately to the values of the audience.”
Dr Jan Wilson, Director of Schools, Taaleem-EdisonLearning, Abu Dhabi
