Discussion on UAE Education and Benefits

I say it, we have every right to be proud. Why? Our rulers have never let us down.

You want the best education? Even if you don't want to enroll your son in private school

and pay money, public schools have partnerships. They teach Chinese in public schools.

In public schools, they teach Russian. From weddings to wedding halls,

Emiratis get them for free, there is a Marriage Fund and group weddings. At group weddings,

they give you money.

There is support for children. Your wife works in the private sector.

Is she obliged to? No, she isn't. Go register. Go register in Nafis.

You're sick? God forbid, God forbid. Now, in any emirate, you can get treatment in public or private hospitals.

Should I be proud or not, folks?

You blame us. One citizen came forward and said his insurance didn't cover it.

Is a guardian obliged to cover everyone's insurance?

He was just one person who appealed. A decision was issued that every Emirati can get treatment wherever they go,

public or private, in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or Sharjah. Where was your passport issued? You can get treatment anywhere.

So why shouldn't I be proud? University education,

they even give you a choice, whether you want a scholarship. Just imagine, a scholarship or a grant.

academic ones. Now, thank God, public universities are available

with the best majors,

internationally recognized and accredited. The state gives you the choice

of a scholarship abroad if you want, or within the country

at private universities if you don't want public ones. They built us parks for free.

By God, every area has a free park for children with free playgrounds,

safety systems, and everything. There are free facilities.

The playground is there. Sports, health, education, religion.

Free Quran memorization centers. What more could we want? What do we need

more of? On the contrary. Praise be to God, abundant, good, blessed praise.

Why shouldn't I be thrilled? Why shouldn't we rejoice? On the contrary, they make us feel responsible for how we can repay

one percent of this beauty. Excuse me. That we learn that we

try to represent our Islamic religion

and our Emirati passport beautifully. Your country has not fallen short with you, so how

will you represent it in the best way? Why is an Emirati fierce in defending their homeland?

Our country is our reputation, our honor, and our dignity

It is what has protected us since we were born. It is what, since the days of Sheikh Zayed, when he

would sit on the sand in the desert. A desert that many people did not like much

because of its limitations, using a stick to draw in the sand what he would do, planning what

he would do. Neither the desert nor financial circumstances stopped him.

Nothing did. Nowadays, people tell the country,

"It's because you have money

that you are like this." You did not always have money. You had

money. How do you invest that money? Oil could, one day,

run out.

Okay, they say, "You have nothing but oil," for example.

They do not think only about oil. They think about solar systems,

solar energy. They think ahead about everything now.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed said during the Year of the Family, "I do not think only of my own rights,

nor only of the rights of my grandchildren. As long as I am a

ruler, as long as I am responsible for my people, I think about what will happen

to my grandchildren's children the day after tomorrow." Praise be to God, abundant,

wholesome, blessed praise for the blessing of our rulers,

the blessing of safety and security, and the blessing of

My country is the United Arab Emirates.
