A great decision by a great leader His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah to provide scholarships in the Khorfakkan University for the Emirati students (“Khorfakkan University to give Emirati students scholarships,” July 27, Gulf Today website).

The decision will provide a huge chance to the Emirati students to get quality education. An educated nation is the guarantee of a country’s prosperity.  According to the report, His Highness Sheikh Sultan will soon issue the law organising the university, and the executive regulations, in addition to the approval of its academic staff, Dr. Humaid Majul Al Nuaimi, Chancellor of the University of Sharjah, said.

He also noted that the official documents of the university have been completed and sent to the Ministry of Education to obtain the academic accreditation. Youth are the future of the country. I believe that the United Arab Emirates is the luckiest nation in the world because the leaders always work hard for the wellbeing of Emiratis and provide them with great opportunities to prosper.
