This week’s #AskDXBOfficial features a senior official from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), giving Dubai parents the chance to ask all of their questions about UAE schools and early learning centres ahead of children returning to school next week.
The GDMO and KHDA posted on their Twitter feeds on August 24 that Dr Abdulla Al Karam, chairman of the Board of Directors and Director General of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai, will be answering participants’ questions as part of the #AskDXBOfficial initiative.
Parents are invited to post their questions for the KHDA on social media, using the hashtag #AskDXBOfficial, and the answers will then be posted on the GDMO’s official media channels.
The Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO) launched #AskDXBOfficial this month to give the public and the media a chance to ask questions to Dubai’s senior government officials. The initiative is part of GDMO’s objective of creating platforms that allow the community to clarify issues and concerns with government officials.
The first #AskDXBOfficial interaction was posted on 22 August and featured Major General Mohammed Al Marri, the Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai. Al Marri answered a series of questions on current immigration and travel procedures and protocols for citizens and residents.
Alia Al Theeb, Senior Manager, Strategic Communications, Government of Dubai Media Office said: “#AskDXBOfficial is part of GDMO’s aim of introducing new interactive communication channels to ensure the Government of Dubai is constantly connected and engaged with citizens and residents. In a continuously evolving environment, we place high priority on communicating directly with the community with clarity and transparency. #AskDXBOfficial invites the public to ask questions to key government officials each week. Answers to their queries will be posted on GDMO’s official social media platforms.”
