H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance, affirmed that the spirit of cooperation reflects the determination to overcome challenges, obstacles, crises and epidemics, and that advancing education and making it accessible to all, especially in the less developed societies is a noble objective that should be realised in the world to achieve development and prosperity for future generations.

This statement was issued by Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid at the felicitation ceremony of the sixth edition of the UNESCO-Hamdan Teacher’s Prize to recognise the distinguished practices and efforts to enhance the performance of teachers. The ceremony was organised virtually on Monday in synchronisation with the global teacher’s day as part of the UNESCO’s events.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid said, "We are proud of the achievements we have made throughout 12 years in collaboration with UNESCO to support education for all and enhance quality in less develop communities. Together, we have succeeded in attracting 729 participants from diverse countries where 17 educational institutions have won prizes."
