That’s right, from fifth place to joint second.

And the UAE is now sitting right up there with the world’s best.Experts say this shift reflects something bigger: Countries like the UAE and Singapore are redefining how global mobility works. Europe still leads, but the momentum is clearly changing.For people living here, this is a strong signal.

The endowment model ensures ongoing support for education, wellbeing, and empowerment. It reflects the UAE’s strong culture of giving and community responsibility.As Yusuff Ali said, investing in children is the highest form of investment and initiatives like this strengthen social unity and shared prosperity. A reminder that generosity here isn’t seasonal, it’s structural..............And finally, a beautiful moment of regional unity.The UAE has joined Kuwait in celebrating Kuwait National Day, marking the deep ties between the two nations.
