The National Education Charter

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Their Highnesses, Rulers of the Emirates, signed the National Education Charter on Emirati Day for Education 2026. The Charter reflects a national vision of education as a shared responsibility, bringing together the roles of the family, the school and the community.

The National Education Charter serves as the ultimate reference document defining the national goals for education in the country, connecting authentic values with future aspirations while fostering a unified educational direction that supports stability and sustainability.​

The Charter defines the ideal UAE learner profile through three core pillars – national identity, character traits and future skills – balancing a strong sense of national pride with essential competencies and helping learners to create a positive impact within their communities and across the nation.

The Charter serves as a permanent compass for all educational decisions, ensuring students take pride in their national identity, strengthen their character traits and build the skills needed for the future.
