2/28/25, 10:45 AM Ministry of Culture announces the implementation of the National Framework for Emirati Cultural Activities in schools
strengthening Emirati national identity among students. This initiative involves carefully designed
activities that are collaboratively organized by both students and educational staff.

He highlighted that the Ministry of Education has undertaken numerous initiatives to strengthen national
identity among students, underscoring its renewed commitment to preparing generations that take pride

in their culture, heritage and national identity. Additionally, the ministry aims to equip students with the
knowledge and skills necessary to confidently navigate the future.

H.E. Al Qassim further explained that the ministry will implement the framework and its diverse range of
activities and programs from early childhood education to the third cycle of schooling. He commended

the framework for its inclusivity and flexibility, as it enables students to participate in cultural activities
both inside and outside of school using innovative tools. These activities are integrated into the
extracurricular programs available in public schools.

The programme’s strategic operational model includes different dimensions of cultural engagement. In-
school cultural engagement provides students with innovative, hands-on experiences and museum field

trip preparations aligned with the programmes focus themes. Similarly, cultural engagement outside
school includes conducting field trips to cultural sites and libraries. Online cultural engagement
programme provides educational resources and activities accessible integrated across all courses,
along with online guides for pre- and post-visit learning and teaching materials. Finally, the community

cultural engagement strengthens connections between schools and their communities, promoting
sustainable engagement with families and reinforcing the programme’s focus themes.
