Furthermore, it aims to produce generations of professionals and specialists in key

industries, strengthening the education-driven economy and fostering

entrepreneurship and workforce participation.”

Mohammed Al Qassim, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education, emphasised

that the National Framework for Emirati Cultural Activities in Schools represents a

qualitative leap in strengthening Emirati national identity among students. This

initiative involves carefully designed activities that are collaboratively organised 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.

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.
