As an employee working in the government education sector, I'm always inspired by the saying of H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, that the investment in Education is the best types of investments. Therefore, I dedicate a great part of my time and effort to work with students in order to achieve these eminent goals.”
