The theoretical framework of the Arab Knowledge Report for the year 2010/2011 is determined through addressing the central concept, which the report aims to highlight and discuss thoroughly. This central concept is represented in ‘preparing the young Arab generations for the knowledge society’ as an objective and a means to achieve the desired Arab renaissance. This chapter addresses the concept of the knowledge society in relation to the preparation of the young along with a number of significant problematic issues relating to the Arab renaissance and involvement in the knowledge society: cultural development in the Arab region, the inherent contradiction in the knowledge society and knowledge economies, the burning of stages and the change in education systems. The concept of preparing the future generations for tomorrow is related to the concept of building the knowledge society as a whole. in short, most of the starting points, requirements and elements requested in the Arab Knowledge Report for 2009 for the establishment of a knowledge society in the Arab region are revisited: To expand the area of freedom, education reform, consolidate iT infrastructure, and creativity stimulation. To that end, a window should be opened to communicate with ourselves and the world to bridge the knowledge gap which will increase daily and become more difficult to remedy if ignored.
