DUBAI // A Dubai Cares delegation met with representatives of UN aid agencies, heads of states, ministers, NGOs, policy experts, leaders of foundations, representatives of civil society organisations, academic institutions, delegates from member states of the UN and the business community in New York this week to discuss the next steps towards achieving universal primary education for children around the world.
Led by chief executive Tariq Al Gurg, a series of high-level meetings convened along the sidelines of the 69th United Nations General Assembly. The global humanitarian development agencies focused on re-energising the movement towards eliminating the largest barriers towards education with a further injection of funds, expertise and global awareness campaigns.
“There is an overwhelming need for collective action towards enforcing primary schooling opportunities for every child,” said Mr Al Gurg. “These meetings are instrumental in bringing together the best minds from around the world to exchange opinions and ideas, share best practices, highlight challenges and formulate solutions.”
