Engineer Omar Mahmoud, Acting CEO, ICT Fund said: “ICT Fund launched the Arabic digital content initiative to empower the researches and the initiatives that aim at fortifying the presence of the Arabic content on the digital platforms in an innovative way. The fund also invests in developing tools and supporting initiatives that can achieve a quantum leap in the Arabic digital content quality.
"This event marked an ideal venue for us to introduce the educational field to this initiative as numerous teachers and experts who are concerned with the Arabic language attended the event. Teachers are role models and they are the ones who lay the foundation for the next generations’ knowledge. In light of this, raising the awareness of teachers is equal to raising the awareness of the next generations as they are considered our messengers to them.”
At the event, the ICT Fund presented its vision to fortify the presence of the Arabic content on digital platforms, encourage the use of the language in everyday life and adopting it in all governmental entities. The fund's activities include encouraging creative minds to write and blog in Arabic with the aim of encouraging Arabic content digital publishing, in addition to launching awareness campaigns through media and supporting the Arabic localisation of software. Research proposals on the development of software and content management systems, operating systems and Arabic translation tools were also presented.

Living Arabic is a programme launched by the KHDA that shares the successful experience of Arabic teachers in Dubai private schools. These experiences are related to teaching the Arabic language in a way that suits students’ demands and passion. The programme also focuses on empowering effective communication between the authority and parents through launching a smart platform named My Family which enables the authority to communicate directly with parents and benefit from their experiences. The platform also grants parents and schools with access to information related to education in Dubai.
