Say Goodbye to those HEAVY backpacks


The Minister of Education vows the country will see the back of backpacks. Speaking at an interactive session on the final day of a region-first two-day government summit, Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qattami, Minister of Education, said the school bag would become redundant within the next few years.

“The most important thing is to have the smart education project which certainly will come into existence in a few years to come...which will put an end to the role of the school bag, where we will not see it anymore.”

The Ministry of Education was “embracing” the project to enable education to be conducted solely on tablets.
