In the Middle East, integration of ICT in education is rising, especially as more people advance to higher levels of education, according to UNESCO. In Africa, many organisations are pioneering new ways of using ICT to meet the United Nations’ education-related Millennium Development Goals, according to the World Bank. As educational institutions and enterprises seek to meet the needs of students and employees, they can discover the latest technologies for teaching and education at InfoComm Middle East & Africa 2013, co-located at GITEX Technology Week 2013, one of the world’s largest Information and Communications Technology industry events. Held from 20-24 October 2013 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, InfoComm MEA 2013 is jointly organised by InfoCommAsia Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of InfoComm International, and the Dubai World Trade Centre.
