Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon, HE Mr. Ashraf Dabbour, has praised Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh’s efforts as well as the significant role he plays in supporting the steadfastness of the Palestinian people at home and in the diaspora, particularly his keenness in providing education and training opportunities for all Palestinians. The Ambassador’s remarks were made at a meeting with Mr. Burhan Al Ashkar, representative Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh for Culture and Media in Lebanon, in the presence of Mr. Nazih Shamma, Director of Mahmoud Abbas Foundation in Lebanon, and a Palestinian students’ representative. During the meeting, Mr. Al Ashkar presented the Ambassador with the folder containing full information about the fully-funded scholarships provided by Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh to all Palestinian refugees to obtain a Master’s degree accredited by Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global University (TAGGU) in five academic disciplines that serve the labor market needs worldwide, including, Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, Digital Marketing, Intellectual Property, and Supply Chain Management. Ambassador Dabbour underlined the importance of the scholarships, as well as the various initiatives launched by Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh to bolster the resilience of the Palestinian people in Lebanon. He emphasized the importance of enabling a large number of Palestinian students to benefit from this scholarship. For his part, Mr. Al Ashkar stressed that Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh’s scholarship for Palestinian refugees is an opportunity to pursue their higher education at no cost and to qualify them with the knowledge and the necessary skills through digital learning that breaks all forms of the siege imposed upon them by the Zionist occupation, saying, that digital learning has no limits and is the only way to sharpen the skills of creative and innovative generations who can create job opportunities, rather than becoming job seekers. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Al Ashkar invited the Palestinian Ambassador to pay a visit to TAG.Global’s offices in Beirut to be informed on all its services and activities, noting that TAG.Global gives special discounts to Palestinian students to purchase technological devices produced and manufactured by Talal Abu-Ghazaleh for Technology (TAGTech) available in the Organization’s showrooms; an offer that would effectively enable Palestinian students to continue their education and training from anywhere in the world.
