A major focus of MBRGI as a key human right, education plays a significant role

in improving quality of life, driving economic development and preparing future
generations to be capable of creating a better future.

Under this pillar, MBRGI’s Dubai Cares has successfully placed education on top

of the agenda for the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (COP 28), during the second RewirED Summit

which attracted key officials and focused on turning education into a key element
of sustainable development.

Striving to achieve the 4th goal of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for

‘Good Education’, Dubai Cares continued to support innovative education, as
well as technical and vocational training programmes, with a special focus on the
provision of education amidst emergencies and prolonged crises. Beneficiaries of

Dubai Cares projects amounted to more than 24 million people from 60 countries
by the end of 2023.

The 7th Arab Reading Challenge, which concluded in October 2023, saw the
record participation of 24.8 million students from 46 countries, and continued to

encourage a love of reading among students as a means to spread awareness of
its importance, promote values of tolerance and moderation, and create a new

generation of creative minds.

Other achievements included the 8th Knowledge Summit, organized by
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation and the UN

Development Programme under the theme ‘Knowledge Cities and the 5th
Industrial Revolution’, and the Digital School’s expansion in 2023 to benefit over

108,000 students in 8 countries.

Spending under the Innovation & Entrepreneurship pillar in 2023 amounted to

AED 138 million, up AED 10 million from 2022, and benefited 1.2 million people.

Projects under this pillar aim to cement the status and the UAE as destinations
that keep up with accelerated digital transformation and help communities make

the necessary change needed for a better, sustainable future.
