Bahrain’s educational institutions have been instructed to suspend changes made to the curricula that are “not compatible with Bahrain’s national values designed to protect religion and its core pillars,” upon direction from Prince Salman al-Khalifa, the crown prince and prime minister of the Gulf state. The announcement, reportedly in line with King Hamad al-Khalifa’s “commitment to protecting the Islamic religion,” came on Tuesday after some critics voiced issues with the inclusion of Israel and changes to the maps of the contested Israeli-Palestinian territories. BBC Arabic reported on Wednesday that the amended subject matters taught for the primary classes featured a lesson on the normalization of ties between the Gulf state and Israel, and deleted a lesson on Jews. Various preachers and scholars issued statements calling on the Ministry of Education to reconsider the changes, which likely prompted the high-level order from the crown prince. State-run Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported on Wednesday that a team of specialists was assigned to conduct a “comprehensive review of all curricula to verify all modifications and changes that have occurred,” citing the Minister of Education Dr. Mohammed Juma.

In this article, Dr. Kadhem discusses the need for preparing students to tackle upcoming challenges and trends in the field. To know more about the Engineering programmes at AUBH, click here. Engineering has always played a significant role in driving technological innovation and advancements in various industries. The knowledge and skills that engineers gain during their studies have enabled them to design, develop, and implement innovative solutions to complex problems. However, in today’s world with the rapid pace of technological development and the increasing complexity of global challenges, engineering programs should strive to prepare students to be Citizen Engineers. These engineers are not only technically proficient but also conscious of their ethical, social, and environmental responsibilities as engineers. Engineering education today is expected to place a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. As new challenges arise, engineers will need to work collaboratively with other professionals from other fields such as computer science, medicine, and business, to develop comprehensive solutions. For instance, an engineer working on a medical device should collaborate with medical professionals to understand the device’s clinical applications. He should also collaborate with computer scientists to design the device’s software, and business experts to market and sell the product successfully. […]

The 16th edition of Art Dubai, the Middle East’s top art fair and the most ambitious version yet was held in early March. Considered to be the largest ever fair conceived so far, the 2023 edition had over 130 galleries from six continents, including 30 new exhibits displayed for visitors, art enthusiasts, and collectors to explore. I was invited as part of Gulf Insider to witness the three-day fair and the preview (an exclusive programme for the invited press). The efforts of a global community in bringing ideas, perspectives and dialogue on art to the forefront were palpable from the get-go. Dubai’s post-pandemic boom and recovery from the recession were cited as reasons for the enormous scale of the art fair this year. As an international platform, Art Dubai is considered a talent incubator, a launch pad for artists and curators around the world, with a special focus this year on the “Global South”, a collective term for countries in the regions of Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The fair also increased its number of South Asian galleries and institutions participating this year. Art Dubai Digital, which was introduced in 2022 showcased the global digital art scene and how […]

As the Formula One pre-season testing got underway before the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, we visited the Porsche Center to meet legendary Australian racing driver, Mark Webber. The nine-time Formula One Grand Prix winner, FIA World Endurance Champion, television personality, and Porsche ambassador reflected on his illustrious career, his passion for Porsche cars, and his take on the 2023 Formula One season while in conversation with Bahrain Confidential. How do you like being back in Bahrain and how are you spending your time here? Good memories here in Bahrain. I’ve been coming here for nearly 20 years, first as part of Formula One and then again with the World Endurance Championship. I’m very lucky to receive a car from Porsche here – the Panera GTS is awesome to drive around from the hotel to the track and do a little sightseeing in Bahrain. You’ve been in the game for a long time before you retired in 2017. What’s the one thing you miss and one thing you don’t miss about racing? I miss the camaraderie that comes with working with a big team. It’s always good fun to work towards big goals and trying to achieve success together. I don’t […]
