IN SHORT

A technology enthusiast since he first got his hands on an Atari console as a boy, Dr Abdulaziz Abal turned his own unimpressive performance in high school and university into inspiration for changing education in Kuwait and improving the experiences and outcomes of students, parents and educators dealing with learning and behavioural challenges. Dreaming big for the future, he remains confident in the abilities of Kuwaiti youth. “Kuwait has always been a pioneer in the GCC. It’s a fertile ground. The possibilities are endless. You can do the smallest thing, and if do it right, you’ll shine.”
