The 2030 global education agenda sets a progression path for all countries. About ten years before this deadline, this paper explores potential trajectories for Arab countries to achieve significant advances in education. The article examines major challenges related to access and quality of education. While most countries made major progress on quantitative dimensions of education (enrollment, years of schooling), important challenges remain such as limited learning outcomes, persistent illiteracy, inequalities and poor governance of education. This paper proposes new ways to rethink education in this region. The tension between credentials(prioritized by students, family and the state) and skills (needed by society and the job market)is one of the most relevant issue in reforming education in the region.

Even though the question was deliberately worded to let respondents express their both positive and negative views, the number of respondents who expressed positive views and the frequency of such expressions were considerably lower compared to the negative ones. Inappropriateness for age group and learning outcomes, insufficiency for facilitating learning, requiring hard-to-attain materials, and difficulty of application raised as major concerns for both activates and songs. Additionally, activities were argued to be repetitive and lacking entertainment while songs were criticized for their rhythm, melody, lyrics, quality, and practicability in the classroom.

There is a paradigm shift, previously focused only on cognitive development, or already towards the affective and psychomotor spheres but still very minimal, and unstructured evaluation, is now more systematic to achieve not only the cognitive, but affective, psychomotor sphere by considering multiple intelligence. Based on these facts it can be concluded that there is a match between education and community needs, so that the crisis of moral decadence, the competence of hope can be overcome. On the same side, the 2013 curriculum is nothing but a government instrument to control the quality of education that is oriented towards quality assurance. Finally, the government -designed education is expected to encourage LOs capable of competence, competitiveness and sanding power that is in harmony with the times. Isu perbaikan mutu pendidikan selalu menjadi fokus dari pelbagaipemangku kepentingan dalam pendidikan.
