CEO RIS & Rector MIUC Walid Mushtaq says: The future is digital, and the best way to bring forth the mission of Roots International Schools of academic excellence and empowering every student is by making sure our students develop essential technological skills. As technology has deeply penetrated our daily lives, a growing demand is seen — from students, parents, teachers, governments, and non-profits - to empower youth about not only the use of technology, but also its creation. This will enable them become the innovators and drivers of growth and the leaders of tomorrow.
