role in achieving happiness for the society, the development of education and
health services, providing job opportunities, the development of the infrastructure,
achieving justice, and in facilitating people’s lives to make them happy, His Highness

the title: “8 years of achievements”, clarifying the achievements in the (8)
major sectors in the State which included: social development, economic
development, foreign policy, the development of government sector, as well as
the security and justice, the infrastructure, the environment, and the citizen
and development sectors. The social development sector focused on education, namely;
pre-university education, and it includes: the adopted education strategy for (2010-2020),
“Mohammed Bin Rashid Smart Learning Program”, and educational excellence. As
for higher education, it focused on the achievements of “Zayed University” and “Higher
Colleges of Technology”. His Highness also reviewed the achievements of the “National
Qualifications Authority”, and the “UAE Qualifications Framework”, in addition
to the “University Leadership Council”, which was established to promote the
culture of innovation, to instill the seeds of real change in the students’
minds, and to play an effective role in the economic development of the
country, through expanding the knowledge horizons and exchange of technology
among the various authorities concerned.
The report also reviwed
the most significant projects and initiatives launched during those years in
the “UAE University”, which meet the aspirations of the Emirati citizens and
address their issues. Such initiatives involved “Emiratisation” and encouraging
the national cadres to obtain the appropriate jobs, such as “ABSHER”
initiative, where his excellency Sheikh “Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan”, Minister
of Higher Education and Scientific Research, expressed his pride in the
university for being among the supporting institutions for the “ABSHER” initiative,
which is inspired by his Highness Sheikh “Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan”, the
President of the UAE, in order to provide a decent life for Emirati citizens,
and enhance their roles in the comprehensive economic development.
Speaking about the
report, His Highness said that we review the achievements of the federal
government in order to learn from our experiences and sharpen the efforts for
more giving to the country, and we learned from our previous experiences that
the strategies and government plans need a clear vision for the teamwork, and
hence we launched the UAE’s vision in order for it to be one of the best countries
in the world by its golden jubilee in (2021).
His Highness added that we always think of what we will achieve in the future,
and of what we will give to the country and people of the coming generation, therefore,
this report is important to evaluate the achievements and learn from the
lessons for planning for a better future.
