Around 36,000 high school students from across the country gathered around their computer screens on Tuesday to find out how they had fared in the academic year 2013/14.
Of that total, 31 pupils were named on Tuesday for earning the highest marks in their school calendar year.
The Grade 12 pupils who came on top from public schools and private schools which subscribe to the Ministry of Education curriculum were announced by the Minister of Education for the first time on the U.A.E. Government's YouTube page.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the U.A.E. and Ruler of Dubai, tweeted his congratulations to the Grade 12 students who passed their examination.
"Today is a special day for thousands of Emirati high school pupils. I would like to congratulate all the pupils who graduated. I would also like to congratulate the parents of pupils who achieved outstanding results, and extend my thanks to all the teachers.”
Shaikh Mohammad also called on pupils to make the U.A.E. proud.
