        She explained that empowering families is a cornerstone of this path by providing

        simple and practical tools that enhance parents' ability to manage their children's
        use of digital devices and applications effectively, alongside raising awareness

        among children and caregivers and promoting safe and responsible use of digital

        platforms.




        As part of the Council's meeting agenda, Sarah bint Yousif Al Amiri, Minister of
        Education, presented the latest developments in public education, such as the

        development and alignment of educational frameworks and policies that contribute

        to the establishment of a clear national reference for school education. These also

        define the profile of the learner in the UAE in a way that reflects national identity
        and aligns with future requirements and leadership aspirations.




        In addition, the Minister of Education emphasised the importance of strengthening

        coherence across all components of the education system, including the national

        curriculum, assessment and examination frameworks, and strategies for the
        development, qualification, and empowerment of educational personnel.




        She noted that such alignment ensures the integration of policies, plans, and

        initiatives within a phased and interconnected framework, thereby enhancing the

        quality of educational outcomes and ensuring alignment with societal needs and
        national priorities.




        She also presented the results of student standardised assessments, including

        Arabic language evaluation outcomes, underscoring the importance of leveraging

        them as diagnostic instruments to inform curriculum development and pedagogical
        strategies.




        She emphasised that such data should enable early, evidence-based interventions

        to address learning gaps and strengthen foundational skills, thereby contributing to
        the sustained improvement of educational outcomes.




        The meeting also addressed updates related to the development of Arabic

        language and Islamic education curricula, in a manner that supports the

        strengthening of students' foundational skills, reinforces national identity and
