This is because they bear the honor of preparing future generations to continue building and developing UAE. This emphasizes the exceptional status of teachers that our wise leadership attach to them since the era of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan who believes that the teacher’s mission goes beyond their educational role to include participating in building national citizens capable of taking responsibility in various national workplaces in the future.”
