(MENAFN Press) Dubai American Scientific School (DASS), a private school providing high-quality American education in Dubai, in collaboration with Mosaica Education, Inc. (MEI), a global leader in education reform, has announced that the two parties will jointly pursue various investment opportunities in education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), leveraging the new, tailor-made education model that has been jointly introduced by DASS and Mosaica for schools in the MENA region. DASS and MEI hosted a special dinner yesterday (September 29, 2010) at Atlantis The Palm in Dubai to commemorate the recent signing of the first-of-its-kind partnership to promote the groundbreaking education model.

It was also announced during the ceremony that Hikmat AlHaj Al-Kaitoob, Vice Chairman, DASS, will now concurrently serve as Mosaica’s Ambassador to the MENA to focus on promoting the specially developed education model in the region. Aside from helping identify investment opportunities in education in the region, the new Mosaica Ambassador will also be responsible for networking activities, and maintaining consistently high standards and excellence of MEI schools in the MENA. Al-Kaitoob is also scheduled for a tour of over 70 public schools managed by MEI in the USA, where she will be meeting various members of MEI USA.

Hikmat AlHaj Al-Kaitoob, Vice Chairman, DASS, said: “We have prepared a comprehensive strategy to promote the new education model and identify gainful investment opportunities that will help boost the quality of education in the region. The new educational model being introduced incorporates best practices from the US educational system and takes into account the specific needs of students in the region. This is certainly in line with the mission of Dubai American Scientific School to empower students and enable them to develop the right skills that will make them productive members of today’s modern society.”

Michael J Connelly, Chief Executive Officer of Mosaica, added: “As societies increasingly become globalised, we believe that it is equally important to adopt a learning concept that is more comprehensive and universal in its coverage and content. The learning approach being pioneered by Mosaica has been designed to help strengthen the role of education as an invaluable tool for progress and we are confident that educational institutions in the region will appreciate the long-term value of this powerful and new concept. We are therefore pleased to partner with Dubai American Scientific School in promoting this new concept as DASS shares our vision and our passion to help nurture a new era of excellence in the delivery of education in the region.”

The specially developed education model, which combines best practices of the American education system with the region’s cultural values and heritage, will initially be implemented at DASS in Dubai and will gradually be introduced to other private schools across the region.

DASS is a high-quality K-12 private school in Dubai that is renowned for its unique and modern schooling philosophy that applies the rules of scientific research to the education model. The school features a highly competent teaching staff and is managed by a school board made up of prominent members of the UAE’s education sector.
