Educators and students expressed pride in the message from His Highness the President, which emphasized values, national identity, the importance of artificial intelligence, and the cooperation between family and school. They affirmed that these directives make them more committed to values and proud of their national identity, motivating them at the start of the school year. Education is not just about transferring knowledge but must be guided by values that ensure upright behavior and instill a sense of belonging and pride in their culture. This approach distinguishes education in the UAE by combining authenticity with modernity.

Values should be part of daily school practices through classroom activities and extracurricular initiatives that foster cooperation, respect, and appreciation. Teachers who embody these values become true role models, influencing students more than any written curriculum.

Schools are now required to offer quality programs that introduce students to AI opportunities while clarifying its risks, so it does not become a distraction but a tool for learning and innovation. Responsible use means students must have awareness guiding their interaction with technology to benefit from it in research and innovation rather than wasting time on unproductive activities.

Successful education requires open communication bridges between parents and teachers to be true partners in shaping the student’s path. The leadership’s message clearly called for role integration, meaning schools cannot succeed alone, nor can families manage the task alone; success comes from combined efforts. This directive carries a deep social dimension linking education to collective responsibility shared by all parties to build the future generation.

This responsibility is not merely about transferring information or explaining lessons but about instilling values and shaping individuals who embody both ethics and knowledge. These directives encourage teachers to continuously develop themselves to keep up with new educational and pedagogical methods. Curricula should transform from static content into an integrated system that reinforces national identity and supports the student’s personality, enabling them to face life confidently and knowledgeably.

His Highness’s speech gave a significant moral boost to the educational field, honoring teachers who play a pivotal role in building generations. Education in the UAE is based on a strong partnership between leadership and teachers, and this trust is the greatest motivation for teachers to continue their dedication with responsibility and sincerity.

Several students noted that the most striking part of the message was the call for responsible use of technology and artificial intelligence, making them realize that technology is not just for entertainment but a means for learning and innovation. They responded to the speech in their schools with applause and discussions, eager to participate in activities reflecting the values emphasized by His Highness.
