Under the guidance of Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chairman of the Education, Human Development and Community Development Council, and Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice Chairperson of the Council, the UAE's education sector has undergone a transformative evolution, developing a pioneering national system that responds to contemporary changes and aligns with future aspirations.

This transformation marks a significant shift from knowledge-based learning to nurturing creative, engaged, and responsible individuals, reflecting the UAE's belief that investing in people is the foundation of sustainable development.

"Our schools today are our future tomorrow, and our students today will be the leaders of our journey in just a few years," the leader finally said, highlighting the role of education in a nation's growth.

The Zayed Educational Complexes project, launched in the 2023–2024 academic year, represents one of the largest national education initiatives.
