UAE: Education Is The First Priority, Says President Sheikh Mohammed

UAE  launches national plans and a roadmap for the next 50 years at the government’s annual meeting which ensures the sustainable development of the country. The plan indicates the sustainability and progress in various fields of the country such as education, health, infrastructure, business, and tourism which will be a golden opportunity for the residents of the country.

The president, Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan attended the annual meeting and discussed the future of education. He says that the key priority will be given to the educational sector to enhance and improve the country’s future.

Education Remains A Priority For The Development Of The UAE

He believes that education can be considered the basic foundation and most important factor for the upliftment of the country so efforts are made to bring innovative and interactive strategies in the field of education. 

A remarkable development can be seen in the field of education over the past 50 years of the country and maintaining it is also a crucial task for the future. The country needs talented workers to harness the vast economic potential and institutions, and for that an advanced educational system is mandatory.

Dubai’s knowledge and human development authority’s recent report shows that 60 percent of the students go to American-curriculum schools. Considering all the students, after the British educational curriculum system, the Indian system is the most popular one. The country is proud of its diversity and ten percent of the teachers are from Egypt.

But it is important to teach the Arabic language, UAE identity, and culture to robust the educational system. The national curriculum includes teaching students the Arabic language, Islamic education, moral education, and social studies, while the international system will provide training in mathematics, science, and others. 

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, prime minister and Ruler of Dubai said that the sessions clearly mapped the plans for educational sectors which focused on each and every part of the country.  Clear and transparent strategies are drafted with the help of a specialized government team to encourage the students and their parents to be a part of the development strategy by providing them with a flexible system.
