Khalifa Award for Education is an educational award founded by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates and the Ruler of Abu Dhabi.
It includes all categories of those working in the field of education in the UAE and in the Arab world.
The Award was founded under the patronage of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, and thrives under the continuous follow-up of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and the continuous guidance by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs and the Chairman of the Council of Trustees of the Khalifa Award for Education.
In line with these directions, the Award’s Council of Trustees, its Secretariat General and its Executive Committee decided to include all categories of those working in the educational field both within the UAE and in the wider Arab world.
The Award’s major objective is to motivate and promote the development of the educational field within the UAE, and in the Arab world at large, based on the conviction by the Award’s board and General Secretariat that both of these fields complements each other.
