Rawdha Ayman Mohammed Al Awadhi, the topper in Grade 12 exams in Abu Dhabi, said the excellent curriculum and availability of reading material, helped her win big.
The Egyptian student from Qatr Al Nada School in Al Dhafra Region scored 99.8 per cent in her overall assessment.
The Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) announced over the weekend that more than 80 per cent of the students who sat for the Grade 12 exams under the Ministry of Education curriculum in Abu Dhabi have cleared their examinations.
"I was so delighted when I received the news that I was the top student in Abu Dhabi emirate. The secondary school education system in the emirate was the reason for my good performance," said Al Awadhi.
She made the comments during her meeting with Dr Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, the director-general of Adec, who also congratulated and thanked her for the brilliant performance.
Dr Al Nuami met Al Awadhi and her parents on the sidelines of the Ramadan Forum on Sunday evening. The forum was organised by Adec with the administrative and teaching staff of the schools of Al Dhafra area in Madinat Zayed.
"The advanced curriculum encourages competition among students because it is based on critical thinking and research.
"Students are provided with a variety of information sources that equip them with great knowledge and skills."
She thanked the UAE leadership for providing support, care and support to every person living in the country. "I also thank my teachers who exerted great efforts in teaching me throughout the years," she added.
Dr Al Nuami said to Al Awadhi that the university, which is her next stage in education, requires more effort, perseverance and attention to achieve personal aspirations. "You need to work hard to climb the ladder of excellence and success as this would help you in the employment field," he said.
Al Nuaimi also expressed his pride over the excellence of Abu Dhabi students in both public and private schools and praised them for their good performance.
"This academic excellence reflects the interest of Adec, its administrative and teaching bodies and its keenness to provide students with knowledge and leadership skills that would help in building the nation."
According to the Adec, a total of 14,672 students were enrolled in Grade 12 during 2016-2017, and attended the first trimester examinations.
