This journey has been grounded in national identity, community, family, knowledge, and learning; the continuation of this path now rests with them.
From the era of the late Founding Father "Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan," our wise leadership has long recognized the paramount importance of youth. It has invested in the intellect of its sons and daughters, nurtured an environment conducive to growth, and empowered them to acquire knowledge and pursue learning-so that they may be a source of pride for their families, their communities, their leaders, and their nation. Carrying the banner of values, diligence, creativity, and discipline, the youth are called to strive for ever greater excellence, achievement, and prosperity, and to elevate their homeland across all fields and endeavours
