109 Students and Teachers Get RAK Award for Creativity and Excellence
RAS AL KHAIMAH - Shaikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, presented the annual RAK Award for Creativity and Excellence to outstanding students, distinguished academicians, teachers and administrative staff at a function held at the Cultural Centre here on Friday.
The award has been instituted by the Ras Al Khaimah government to promote and honour excellence in education.
As many as 109 persons were presented with the awards across eight categories, which included 82 students who were honoured for their excellent performance in the academic as well as co-curricular activities. The other categories included distinguished teachers, supervisors and outstanding families.
Speaking at the function Shaikh Saud said, “Education is a key instrument for national progress and socio-economic development. Our commitment to world class education remains strong and we look forward to achieving excellence in education through introduction of best practices, developing the right institutional infrastructure and by honouring excellence in the field of education.”
He congratulated the students who had made excellent academic achievements and the winners in other categories. He lauded the efforts made by the teachers and parents in supporting and encouraging the students to realise their true potential.
Shaikh Saud also presented the RAK Award for Creativity and Excellence to Rashid Abdullah Sayed Al Tahah, who had served as Undersecretary in the Ministry of Education from 1980 to 1990, for his contribution to the development of the education sector.
Minister of Education Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qattami thanked Shaikh Saud for gracing the function and presenting awards to the top achievers. He said the award programme along with similar initiatives in other emirates would act as an incentive towards promoting excellence in education in the country.
Shaikh Faisal bin Saqr Al Qasimi, head of the board of trustees of RAK Award for Creativity and Excellence, said fostering innovation and excellence is a national priority which calls for new partnerships and cooperation from the private sector and other organizations concerned.
Mohammed Ibrahim Mansoor, general secretary of the award board, said the award programme would be expanded next year to include a new category aimed at encouraging book reading among students. “We are also planning to promote a novel concept called ‘Ideas Lab’ through which we aim to encourage creative thinking and help the students in implementing their innovative ideas,” he added.
