MDPI International Day of Education Webinar 2024
Welcome from the Chairs
In order to commemorate International Day of Education 2024 (https://www.un.org/en/observances/education-day), MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to join together, take action, and raise awareness as to how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts for quality education.
Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility. We aim to encourage connection and collaboration among education researchers and the international open access community. Sharing knowledge is a human right, and tackling educational challenges requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across different boundaries.
The webinar aims to encourage connections and collaboration among air pollution researchers and the international open access community to share and discuss their research findings. We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI International Day of Education Webinar 2024

Children and adults with poor numeracy are at a disadvantage in both academic and everyday life situations (e.g., field of study in the university, handling money, and high chances of unemployment) . Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a specific disorder of numerical and mathematical abilities in the absence of other cognitive impairments. She is interested in core numeracy skills in DD (such as understanding of magnitude and counting), as well as, the contribution and co-occurrences of domain general abilities (i.e. attention and working memory) in the etiology of DD. One of her most important scientific goals is to apply her study to improve the society in Israel and abroad. DD is a topic that is very important to study, due to the dramatic effect of learning disabilities on the individual's wellbeing long after elementary school. Moreover, learning disabilities are an important negative contributor to an individual's performance in all aspects of day to day life. Accordingly, discovery of the etiology of DD, effective diagnostic tools and possible interventions, will advance the society.
