The initial phase of the framework was implemented between August 2023
and January 2024, engaging a number of public and private schools. It witnessed

contributions from 107 cultural entities.
Mubarak Al Nakhi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, said, “We remain
committed to embedding Emirati cultural values in future generations and
reinforcing their deep sense of belonging to the nation, its leadership and society.
Awareness of cultural heritage contributes to building a generation that
understands its significance, is capable of preserving its identity and leads the
nation towards the future, relying on knowledge, critical thinking and creativity."
Furthermore, Al Nakhi elaborated that the framework aims to strengthen students’
connection with their national identity and cultural heritage, encourage positive
societal participation, enhance bonds between generations and solidify
collaboration between cultural and educational entities. These objectives align with
the ‘Year of Community,’ announced by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The initiative aims at strengthening community cohesion,
enhancing prosperity and encouraging participation in national development.
Al Nakhi added, “This framework aligns with the vision of our wise leadership for
sustainable education, which is a cornerstone of national development
and progress. An ideal cultural environment fosters creativity and intellectual
growth across all segments of society. We believe that this collaboration with the
Ministry of Education supports the nation’s developmental goals and supports the
National Strategy for Higher Education 2030, which seeks to equip students with
technical and practical skills that contribute to economic growth in both public and
private sectors.
