An Israeli academic has been honored with The Khalifa Award for Education for her research on how children learn to read.
The Emirati award was given to Tzipi Horowitz-Kraus, an associate professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, who was one of four winners from outside the United Arab Emirates.
The Khalifa Award for Education, which has both the UAE president and prime minister among its patrons, was founded in 2007 to advance standards of education at all levels in the Emirates and across the whole Arab world.
