UAE Education Minister, Dr Hanif Hassan launched on Saturday, the ‘My Family Reads’ Project at the Sheikha Bint Saeed Primary School for Girls in Ajman to encourage students to read and gain more knowledge.
During the inauguration, the education minister read parts of the
collection of books before 481 students and 41 of the school’s
administration staff.
Present at the launch were Obaid Al Matroushi, director of Ajman
Education Zone; Shaikha Khulood Al Qasimi, director of the curriculum
department in the Ministry of Education; and, Muneera Abdulla,
principal of the school.
Dr Hanif said the project is one of the ministry’s initiative in line
with the federal government’s strategic plans to develop education and
raise cultural and educational awareness among the students as well as
help build UAE’s overall development plan. “The programme also aims at
building up reading skills and encouraging students to benefit from
their free time. Books are the main source of knowledge and culture.
Families also must specify a time for reading until it becomes a daily
habit,” Dr Hanif said.
