The theme of the meeting, "From the Heart to the Heart," is not just a passing title but rather a genuine and objective need that requires us to strengthen and support its pillars. In this meeting, we find a discourse that aligns with the need of the soul, reminding us of our essential need to belong to a space of love and unity, especially in a time where the superficiality of relationships has eroded the bonds between the people of the same nation and pushed them towards an ambiguous unknown.

This book delves into the realm of educational policies, a subject of great interest to researchers, particularly in the Arab world.

This book, "Educational Policies in Arab Countries: Concepts and Perspectives," is intended for specialized readers in the Arab world, aiming to provide them with in-depth knowledge about educational policies, how they are formulated, the forces (official and unofficial) that shape them, methods of analysis, the role of education in official Arab discourse, the intersection of education and politics, examples of educational policies in some advanced countries, and the formation of a future vision for educational policies in the Arab world.
