UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has issued a message as schools resume in-person classes following the regional situation.

“Our sons and daughters, the students, resume in-person learning today across all our universities and schools.. after our education system has proven its exceptional capacity for full continuity amid the conditions that the region has endured,” he said on X.

“My message to the students, male and female: We are a nation that does not halt at challenges. We are a nation that does not cease learning and teaching. We are a nation whose journey does not stop and whose development does not falter.

“We are a nation that bets on you and builds its future with you, alongside you, and for your sake,” he added.
