The Dubai campus is Middlesex University’s oldest and largest overseas campus, and we are currently celebrating our 10th anniversary. We have over 2,500 students from around 90 countries studying a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including psychology, film, and international politics. As the campus moves forward, the focus is very much on the development of our education programmes, at both undergraduate and master’s levels. Our recently launched BA Honours in Early Childhood Studies is proving popular, and it is indicative of our commitment to education in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the region. Hosting the GCES Symposium allows us to further that commitment, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to welcome the GCES team to our campus for the next few days. I am sure the GCES Symposium will be a great success, and I look forward to some lively debate during the event. Best wishes, Dr. Cedwyn Fernandes Acting Director, Middlesex University Dubai 3 Welcome to the Gulf Comparative Education Society On behalf of the Gulf Comparative Education Society (GCES), I would like to welcome all delegates to the 6th Annual GCES Symposium.
