Ajyal by IACAD reaches 8460 beneficiaries through 152 lectures in Q1 2026

The Department continued to strengthen its awareness presence within the educational environment through the “Ajyal” initiative, in partnership with key strategic stakeholders in the education sector, namely the Knowledge and Human Development Authority and the Ministry of Education. During the first quarter of 2026, the initiative delivered 152 awareness lectures, benefiting approximately 8,460 students across public and private schools in Dubai. The program focused on providing interactive content that promotes values of tolerance, belonging, and social responsibility through modern approaches that address students’ needs and align with current developments.

These lectures were delivered by a distinguished group of qualified and experienced speakers in the educational field, who demonstrated strong communication skills and the ability to convey value-based messages through engaging and interactive methods. Their approach considered age differences and addressed students’ real-life needs, contributing to increased engagement and participation in awareness programs within schools.

Additionally, a new religious awareness program titled “You Are Safe, God Willing” was introduced to address emerging challenges. The program highlighted the blessings of safety and stability in the United Arab Emirates, emphasizing the importance of strengthening values of national belonging and unity behind the wise leadership, thereby enhancing students’ awareness and instilling authentic national values.

In this context, Yahya Abdulaziz Qasim, Acting Head of the Religious Guidance Section and Supervisor of the “Ajyal” program, stated that the results achieved during the first quarter reflect the effectiveness of awareness programs in reaching a wide segment of students. He noted that schools in Dubai represent a key environment for instilling positive values and strengthening identity, belonging, and social responsibility.

He added that the “Ajyal” initiative has formed an integrated link among its core target groups—parents, teachers, and students—highlighting the clear and growing positive engagement since the program’s launch. He also emphasized that the initiative continues to develop its tools and content in collaboration with educational entities, contributing to stronger integration across institutions and reinforcing a comprehensive value system that supports building a balanced generation, both intellectually and behaviorally, in line with the Department’s vision of being closer to the community..
