  • Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf
    Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf Over the past quarter century, the people of the Arabian Peninsula have wit- nessed a revolutionary transformation in higher education. In 1990, there were fewer than ten public universities that offered their Arabic- language curricula in sex- segregated settings to national citizens only. In 2015, there are hundreds of public, semi-public and private colleges and universities. Most of these institu- tions are open to expatriates and national citizens; a few offer gender- integrated instruction; and the language of instruction is much more likely to be in English than Arabic. Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf explores the reasons behind this dramatic growth. It examines the causes of the sharp shift in educational prac- tices and analyses how these new systems of higher education are regulated, evaluating the extent to which the new universities and colleges are improving quality. Questioning whether these educational changes can be sustained, the book explores how the new curricula and language policies are aligned with offi- cial visions of the future. Written by leading scholars in the field, it draws upon their considerable experiences of teaching and doing research in the Arabian Gulf, as well as their different disciplinary backgrounds (linguistics and eco- nomics), to provide a holistic and historically informed account of the emer- gence and viability of the Arabian Peninsula’s higher education revolutions. Offering a comprehensive, critical assessment of education in the Gulf Arab states, this book represents a significant contribution to the field and will be of interest to students and scholars of Middle East and Gulf Studies, and essential for those focused on higher education.

Signature ________________________________________ ii Abstract This study establishes a framework for a strategic and normative plan for creating a graduate level Master of Design program in the Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) free zone. The program investigated for internationalization is the MDes in Strategic Foresight & Innovation at OCAD University. Drawing from foresight methods, the research is grounded in a contextual understanding of societal, academic and business implications of internationalizing a Canadian graduate level program for the Middle Eastern market. The report makes a number of recommendations for adapting the SFI program for international implementation, and for the design of a manageable and sustainable prototype that leverages hybrid distance education. The objective of launching a sustainable and scalable pilot program in DIAC that grows over time, is to provide graduate level education in strategic thinking and design of innovation, to a broader developing region in much need of quality higher education.

Dr Abdulla Al Karam Chairman of the Board of Directors - Director General Knowledge & Human Development Authority Dubai is considered a regional hub for trade, tourism and business at the intersection of the East and the West. Similarly, Dubai’s reputation as a regional hub for good-quality higher education is growing amongst the business community and aspiring tertiary students. With the addition of new institutes in 2011, Dubai now has the highest number of international branch campuses in the world. We also have the largest and most diverse group of faculty members and transnational students. Such a diversity offers the potential for a unique student experience that opens the door for links into global networks. Our student population has grown steadily over the past four years, including right through the economic downturn. Over the past year, numbers of student enrolments grew by a further 10%. Particularly pleasing is the growth in the numbers of Emirati students across the full range of courses and institutions.
