Arab Knowledge Report 2014: Youth and Localisation of Knowledge - United Arab Emirates
The report sheds light on one of the most important issues facing the Emirati society,namely integrating the youth and enabling them to actively contribute to the transfer and localization of knowledge. This process serves as a springboard for the establishment of the knowledge society in the UAE and acts as a window to wider horizons for sustainable human development. The biggest challenge in creating this society lies in the process of building the human being,or the knowledge capital,on new foundations that are aligned with the requirements of the current age. This includes enabling the youth – the key category of this society – to develop their knowledge,skills,thinking frameworks and values so as to transfer,localize,produce and employ knowledge effectively,for their own benefit and that of the Emirati society as a whole.
