February 28, now recognized as ‘Emirati Day for Education,’ is a significant date that commemorates the graduation of the first group of teachers from the United Arab Emirates University in 1982. This historic event was graced by the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, alongside the Rulers of the Emirates.
The establishment of this day as part of the UAE’s National Agenda reflects the leadership’s unwavering belief in the power of education to build future generations, drive national progress, and foster sustainable development.
