Dubai is celebrating academic excellence as 40 top-performing high school students have been honoured under the Dubai Top Achievers Recognition and Support Programme.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, congratulated the students - both Emiratis and residents - for their outstanding performance during the 2024–25 academic year.
The recognised students came from public and private schools across a range of curricula, including the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum, in addition to the US, UK and the International Baccalaureate programmes.
In messages sent directly to the students, Sheikh Hamdan praised their efforts as a source of pride for Dubai and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence, both in the classroom and in life.
He also thanked their families, noting that such achievements reflect the strength of their support and dedication.
Beyond recognition, the Top Achievers Programme offers scholarships and leadership training, with added benefits including financial rewards, tuition discounts at higher education institutions, and priority access to the UAE’s Golden Visa for eligible students and their families.
