Ministry of Education Launches Shorik Initiative

New Initiative Helps Students Make Informed Education and Career Choices

 

UAE Minister of Higher Education launches online platform to connect high school students interested in studying abroad with current university students

 

Dubai June 28, 2016- His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Belhoul, Minister of State for Higher Education, today launched the Shorik initiative, an interactive online platform that connects high school students interested in studying abroad with students currently studying at international universities.

 

“Embarking on a university education, especially overseas, can be a stimulating but also daunting experience. Shorik aims to make the process a little easier by providing high school students with the support they need to make informed choices about academic disciplines and professional opportunities,” stated His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Belhoul.

 

The objective of Shorik, which means ‘to advise’ in Arabic, is to provide aspiring scholarship students with the tools and resources to navigate the important decisions associated with pursuing university studies in a new country. The platform features profiles of current scholarship students, information about recommended majors and background on international universities. It also offers direct communication channels for high school students to seek advice from university students studying abroad.

 

This initiative is part of the Ministry of Education’s ongoing efforts to provide counseling and academic guidance to high school graduates, helping them determine which university majors align with their interests as well as the needs of the UAE economy.

 

“The Ministry of Education is committed to ensuring that the higher education experience helps prepare students for successful careers in both the public and private sectors. A key component of this goal is linking higher education with the requirements of the labor market as well as the UAE’s economic aspirations. Through Shorik, we are encouraging high school students to start thinking about their career earlier so that they can make the most of their college experience,” H.E. added.

 

As part of the launch of the Shorik initiative, a number of student ambassadors, who were selected for their academic excellence, were also announced by His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Belhoul.

 

H.E. noted, “The Shorik Ambassador program is open to all interested scholarship students. Your active contribution is critical to the success of this initiative and ensuring that our high school graduates have the guidance they need during this important phase of their academic journey,” H.E. added.
