While celebrating the opportunities that AI offers, Mr Tongue urged education leaders to maintain balance by cultivating uniquely human skills such as resilience, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and compassion that machines cannot replicate.
The event brought together some of the world's most influential educational thinkers at a critical moment in global education, as schools and systems seek to modernise their curricula and assessment strategies to prepare young people for an uncertain but opportunity-rich future.
With a bold vision that combines technological advancement with human-centred values, Doha College, under Mr Tongue’s leadership, continues to define what it means to deliver meaningful, future-ready education in the 21st century.
