  • April 5-7, 2016 Arab Open University—Kuwait Kuwait City, Kuwait
    April 5-7, 2016 Arab Open University—Kuwait Kuwait City, Kuwait Hosted and sponsored by Also sponsored by INNOVATION AND TRANSFORMATION: VALUES, CHALLENGES, AND PROSPECTS FOR EDUCATION IN THE GCC Dear GCES Delegates, With great pleasure, we would like to welcome all participants and presenters to the Arab Open University—Kuwait (AOU—KW) and to the seventh annual symposium of the Gulf Comparative Education Society (GCES). Founded in 2002, the AOU is a non-profit university and stands as one of the initiatives of the Arab Gulf Program for Development (AGFUND). In addition to being the first private university in Kuwait, the AOU is also the largest of its kind, hosting 8,000 students and celebrates the cultural variation of its student population representing 75 nationalities. We take pride in the mission of our university, which is to be open to all individuals of any socioeconomic or educational background, to be open to all innovative ideas and practices in education, and to be open in all places and environments. AOU has strong local as well as international accreditation of all its academic programs. In Kuwait, AOU is the leading institution in blended learning and the use of technology in the classroom. Our learning environment is focused on offering quality education and boundless opportunity for individual development. Education at AOU means that our students can learn to invest in their own experiences before, during, and after graduation. Therefore, we are rewarded to know that the labor market in Kuwait and beyond swiftly embraces our graduates. I find this year’s GCES symposium theme on innovation and transformation to be very significant for AOU teaching and research interests, as well as for the work of educators and policymakers.

  • 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.
