On April 29 this year, three Indian students in Dubai embraced the future. Eyes filled with hope, two highly capable athletes and one tech genius from the Indian High School signed up for the first-ever Dubai 10X initiative - Rahhal.
Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announced the pilot phase of 'Rahhal' - a part-time learning concept, as part of the Dubai 10X initiative, which is overseen by the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF). The highly- ambitious programme enables students to study different subjects in different schools, across different curriculums. However, Rahhal is only the beginning.
When the DFF was launched two years ago, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said that shaping the future and making it is no longer a theoretical concept but a key factor for countries to achieve competitiveness in the global arena. Sheikh Mohammed said: "The future is not built on possibilities and numbers but on clarity of vision, planning, action and implementation."
The foundation gave birth to 'Office of the Future' - a concept that focuses on 3D printing strategy - and 'Dubai's Autonomous Transportation Strategy'- a strategy that aims to transform 25 per cent of the total transportation to autonomous mode by 2030.
The foundation also gave rise to Dubai 10X - a concept of disruptive innovation that catapults the emirate 10 years into the future. Khaleej Times takes a closer look into top four 10X ideas that will disrupt innovation and break barriers in Dubai.
