Emirati talent has once again shone on the global stage as a student — Fatima Wafi — bagged several accolades in a global competition. Big congratulations were in order and the Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, personally gave it to her.

Out of 1,800 students from around the world, Fatima ranked fourth in the World Scholar’s Cup Global Round — Qatar 2023.

She also won 11 gold medals and two cups for writing and debate, Sheikh Hamdan proudly said in a tweet.
