ABU DHABI // The UAE will spare no efforts to develop its educational models to meet the fast-changing world, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, said on Monday.
“We are determined to make further progress and success that ensures that the UAE remains competitive,” he told a delegation from Khalifa University during a meeting at Qasr Al Bahr Palace. “Nothing will deter us from our bid.
“We have a strong will and already possess the factors that ensure our success in achieving our goals where we rely on an upswing in development that is centred on man and backed by an advanced and modern educational system.”
He hosted the delegation to congraulate them after Khalifa University was named the top university in the UAE this month by Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings and received the highest ranking in the UAE in the QS 2016 World University Rankings.
Sheikh Mohammed expressed the hope that other UAE universities would achieve an equally excellent performance as part of the country’s bid to develop high-quality education, reported state news agency Wam.
The delegation was led by the university’s executive vice president, Dr Arif Sultan Al Hammadi.
Khalifa University was founded in 2007 after a decree by the President, Sheikh Khalifa.
