The UAE’s Minister of Education, Humaid Mohammed Al Qatami, has called on private schools to exert more effort to promote the country’s values and traditions.

He stressed the need to educate students about local traditions by integrating these values into administrative procedures and celebratory events such as graduation ceremonies.

The minister said the Ministry of Education has recognised the private education sector as the government’s strategic partner in this endeavour. At the same time, the entire education sector, including schools, need to comply with all learning concepts and principles that promote the UAE’s development, heritage and rich culture.

Existing systems and processes must not compromise the values that should be taught to the youth, he added.

The ministry will closely monitor any violation of the regulations governing school communities.
