The first-generation school, wisdom, foresight for the future and effective policy development were combined, and firm convictions were born that education is the basis for turning the wheel of human progress, the pillar of civilizational renaissance, the sustainability of capabilities, and occupying a prominent position on the world map, at a time when competition has become the most intense and winning the fore requires preparing generations armed with the best sciences and knowledge. This trend was expressed by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace, by adopting a modern vision on which the UAE’s march of progress was based, summed up in his saying: “The best investment for money is to invest it in creating generations of enlightened and educated people."

In light of this reality, and under the directives of the wise leadership, the government of the UAE has taken care of public and higher education and the formation of a generation that holds the highest degrees of education, brilliance and creativity, to take the lead of progress and development. Therefore, the attention was focused on keeping a clear path for our students to continue their learning journey in the finest and best institutions of higher education abroad.

In this context, the Ministry of Education has translated these national trends and vision into an available and effective reality, by paying attention to abroad scholarships for distinguished UAE students. The Ministry of Education developed a future vision that ensures the provision of the best options for internationally accredited university studies and provides vital scientific disciplines for its students. This comes in line with the requirements of the Labor market, strategic plans and the UAE needs in terms of professional and scientific disciplines.

This is consistent with the principles of the UAE for the next fifty years, especially the aspect of investment in human capital, which represents an important tool for promoting development paths, building, and empowering young future leaders. This is based on a high-quality educational system, caring for young and creative talents, and developing their skills and capabilities.

In this regard, Attaché has been keen to provide support for UAE students, by providing logistical support and building bridges of communication with them. Through providing the best services and facilities and continuous follow-up of their academic journey. The Attaché office performs continuous development and innovation in its procedures and capabilities and the strengthening of strategic participatory work with various Public and private educational institutions abroad, in addition to consolidating cooperation and coordination with educational and governmental institutions.

We have great confidence in our students, and we count on them to represent the country in an honourable manner and to be the best ambassadors for their country, communicating with other cultures, and creating a bright image of their homeland in a framework of respect for the other, coexistence and tolerance, which constitutes a national approach and a real commitment to the world, coupled with diligence and excellence. As we assure that the Attaché work team is always available to support our students and provide assistance to facilitate their academic mission and future professional goals. 

We ask God Almighty to help us all for the good and service of our beloved country, and to be a prominent contributor to the consolidation of the good global reputation of the United Arab Emirates, and to continue our tasks and duties in providing support and the best services for enhancing wellbeing and being proactive all the time. 

May God guide you and direct your steps. Wish you wellness, success, and excellence.
