The UAE Students blog features video, news and commentary from journalism students in the Middle East. It began at the American University of Sharjah in 2006. In 2007 it was nominated for a Reuters Student Journalism award in the Student Team of the Year category. It includes articles about potentially sensitive issues like Islam and Sex Education.
Famous quotes containing the word students:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
