With the advent of a knowledge economy developing in Saudi Arabia, Huawei — a major global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider — is showcasing the latest e-Education technology solutions that can help institutions improve the standards of education, at the International Exhibition and Conference on Higher Education (IECHE) in Riyadh. The four-day show opened on Tuesday at Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Strengthening its commitment to developing the education sector in the Kingdom, Huawei will identify how it can help universities empower youth by equipping them with the right knowledge and skills to build successful careers.

As the country moves closer to developing a true knowledge-based economy, the IECHE provides the perfect platform for the Ministry of Higher Education to build solid partnerships with some of the world’s top higher education institutions.

The event brings together educators, students, speakers and leading universities from around the world to channel energies to maximize the availability of education and learning.

As a technical partner of the event, Huawei is speaking to educators about how technology vendors can make a measurable impact to the availability and quality of education through the implementation of borderless classrooms and e-learning tools.

According to Huawei, the most important step that institutions need to make is to ensure that there is a solid infrastructure that can support the modernization of state-of-the-art learning platforms and technologies.

“The incorporation of technology has completely revolutionized the way the students learn and continues to push the boundaries within the education industry,” said Tony Shi, GM at Huawei, enterprise business, Saudi Arabia. “Educators can change the way that classes are being taught, where they are hosted and satisfy the demand from student and staff for more flexible and creative learning environments.”
