Speaking on the AMAF’s role in educating minors, Al Rais said: “As part of our mandate to empower the children under our care until they graduate from university, the AMAF spares no effort in providing a stimulating environment and all the necessary tools to enable them to make the most of their education. Our initiative honouring outstanding students aligns with the UAE’s relentless drive towards excellence in education.”

Through rewarding academic achievements, the foundation expressed its appreciation for the vital role schools play in the country’s progress and in educating generations.
