Displaying Smart Student Services Advancements at Education Interface 2025 by MoHESR
The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) in the UAE is set to participate in the 11th Education Interface Exhibition, taking place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from 17-18 April. This participation aligns with the UAE's "Year of the Community" initiative, which emphasizes the use of advanced technology to deliver citizen-centric services [1][2].
At the exhibition, MoHESR representatives will offer students practical guidance to help them navigate their educational paths and make informed decisions. This guidance is a new addition to the Ministry's efforts, aimed at ensuring an efficient, student-first experience [3].
The MoHESR's participation underscores its commitment to engaging directly with students and academic institutions. One of the key highlights of the exhibition will be the showcase of the Ministry's latest integrated digital services. These include automatic recognition of UAE-issued qualifications, recognition of foreign credentials, and a new unified registration platform [4].
The latest digital services by MoHESR primarily include the newly launched MoHESR UAE mobile app, available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store since June 2025. This app allows users to access MoHESR services, track applications, and receive updates easily, representing a significant step forward in digitalizing higher education services in the country [5][6].
These digital advancements directly support the UAE's Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme by simplifying and streamlining interactions with MoHESR through a single digital platform. By enabling easy online access to services and real-time application tracking, the app fosters efficiency, transparency, and convenience, all key objectives of the zero bureaucracy initiative [7].
Regarding the Year of the Community initiative, these digital services contribute by enhancing community engagement and inclusivity in higher education. The Ministry's efforts to digitally transform service delivery make higher education more accessible to all segments of the community, supporting equitable educational opportunities [8].
In addition, the formation of the Advisory Committee for Higher Education and Future Skills, announced concurrently, reflects a broader commitment to community-oriented development in education by aligning higher education with national economic and social priorities, ultimately empowering graduates to contribute to sustainable development and community advancement [9].
In summary, the MoHESR's latest digital services—primarily the comprehensive mobile app—advance the UAE’s goals of eliminating bureaucratic hurdles and fostering a community-focused, knowledge-based society through accessible, efficient, and integrated higher education services. Ahmad Ibrahim Alsaadi, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for the Higher Education Operations Sector, noted the MoHESR's involvement and emphasized the Ministry's goal to simplify procedures in line with the UAE's Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme [10]. The services, designed to improve the student journey and support the UAE's broader education goals, are set to be showcased at the 11th Education Interface Exhibition.
