Parents in the UAE felt proud to be led by a caring leader, who is using the power of education to empower and prepare their children to become the future change makers.
On Tuesday morning, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan delivered a 2-minute, 42-second audio message to students as the new academic year began in schools.
Apart from insightful messages targeting students and educators, His Highness pointed out that education isn’t just the responsibility of the schools but families and parents, alongside society and institutions have a key role to play in achieving goals and ambitions.
Parents acknowledged that the UAE President’s speech played out in the schools has a broader message for everyone in the society to understand and implement in their lives.
