I am proud to be Emirati

Education in the past was simple and basic. It was about how to read the Quran and how to write it. The Muttawaa, some sort of a religious man, was their only teacher in the mosque. Education now has developed very quickly and the number of students increased rapidly. If you are a boy or a girl, old or young you have to get some kind of education. There are many schools and universities and all have been made free. The National day at the IAT is a time to remember our great leader Sheikh Zayed who created a modern strong country. From the Muttawa's class to laptop for every student in less than 40 years, I am proud to be Emirati.
