The Arab States

Although Arab culture historically has contributed a great deal to the world’s scientific development, the region today exhibits poor performance in science and technology (S&T). It is evident that the advances in S&T that have changed our lifestyle have been driven by exciting discoveries made by scientific laboratories in the West. These discoveries have transformed human behaviour by introducing new products, new processes and better services. This progress has been mainly due to the West’s commitment to improving both the quality and relevance of education, particularly in basic and applied sciences. The West’s investment in human resources has created a wealth of knowledge.
