Shaikh Hamdan confirmed that these students will be sent to study the disciplines according to the “qualitative studies” carried out by the ministry and the relevant federal authorities. These studies were conducted to assess the need for the labour market in the coming years, particularly with the developments in the infrastructure of the UAE and its direction for building a green, knowledge-based economy. This requires the preparation of cadres capable of covering gaps that can occur in the different sectors.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research is holding an introductory forum for these students, in the presence of each country’s cultural attache, embassy and the media. The forum will touch on the academic, administrative and legal aspects of the scholarship so that students get acquainted with the system, the follow-up mechanism in the country of study, and to familiarise them with all the services rendered to them.
