Al-Ahmad said: "This forum will take you through its four sessions, which take a hierarchical form and a gradual cognitive direction, starting from defining the identity of colleges of education towards education, passing through the role of the evaluation body in evaluating and optimizing the impact and output, then discussing the role outside the teacher preparation circle, investing knowledge and anticipating the role of scientific societies, making local and international partnerships, in addition to measuring the harmony and integration of roles between colleges of education and public education in exploiting opportunities and overcoming challenges.
For his part, the Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Badr Al-Dalan, pointed out that organizing events and activities on World Education Day contributes to highlighting the importance of education and the challenges it faces.
