UAE midday break for workers starts
The UAE's midday break for outdoor workers came into effect on Sunday. The break runs until September 15 and prohibits work under direct sunlight and in open-air spaces between 12.30pm and 3pm. The annual initiative, overseen by the ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, was first introduced in 2004 and gives employees respite from the scorching summer heat. Companies will be fined Dh5,000 for each time a worker breaches the midday ban and up to a maximum of Dh50,000 if several cases take place. The safety measures came back into force after the UAE has seen climate records tumble. The country has recorded its hottest April and May since records began. 'Now in its 21st consecutive year, the Midday Break is rooted in a sustainability-centred approach that the UAE implements in line with its commitment to providing a safe working environment as per international best practices and occupational health and safety standards, protecting workers from injuries and illnesses caused by working in high temperatures during the summer months,' the ministry said on social media. The ministry will be inspecting workplaces across the country over the next few months to monitor implementation of rule. The ministry said 51 infractions were uncovered last year as a result of 134,000 inspections, down from 96 the previous year.

Non-oil sector propels UAE's GDP to nearly Dh1.8 trillion in 2024
The UAE's economy registered a growth of 4.0 per cent in real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, reaching Dh1.776 trillion, underscoring the resilience and dynamism of the country's non-oil sectors in the face of a challenging global environment. According to official data released by the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) on Sunday, non-oil activities contributed an impressive 75.5 per cent to the national economy, amounting to Dh1.342 trillion, while oil-related GDP stood at Dh434 billion. The upbeat data has reinforced confidence in the UAE's long-term economic trajectory, driven by structural reforms, increased investment in non-oil sectors, and strategic initiatives under the 'We the UAE 2031' vision. The Ministry of Economy described the growth as a testament to the country's effective economic diversification strategy and its transformation into a knowledge- and innovation-driven economy. Minister of Economy Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri said the performance reflects the UAE's determination to build a sustainable, globally competitive economy. 'Each milestone brings us closer to our national goal of raising the GDP to Dh3 trillion by the next decade,' said Al Marri. 'We are committed to positioning the UAE as a global hub for the new economy by reinforcing sustainable development, leveraging emerging technologies, and enhancing international competitiveness.' Hanan Mansour Ahli, managing director of the FCSC, noted that the 4.0 per cent GDP growth 'mirrors the UAE's strategic foresight and focus on sustainable, non-oil-driven growth,' with diversified economic activity enhancing social well-being and national resilience. Among the fastest-growing contributors to GDP in 2024 was the transport and storage sector, which recorded a remarkable 9.6 per cent year-on-year growth, powered by a strong rebound in aviation and logistics. UAE airports handled a total of 147.8 million passengers during the year, a 10 per cent increase from 2023, reflecting the country's recovery as a global travel and logistics hub. The construction and real estate sectors also continued their upward momentum. The building and construction sector posted an 8.4 per cent increase, buoyed by robust infrastructure development across urban centres, while real estate activities grew by 4.8 per cent amid rising demand for residential and commercial properties. Financial and insurance services expanded by 7.0 per cent, reflecting strong capital inflows and healthy banking sector performance. The hospitality and food services sector grew by 5.7 per cent, supported by a surge in tourist arrivals and high hotel occupancy levels throughout 2024. In terms of sectoral contributions to the non-oil GDP, wholesale and retail trade led the way with a 16.8 per cent share, followed by manufacturing (13.5 per cent), financial and insurance activities (13.2 per cent), construction (11.7 per cent), and real estate (7.8 per cent). These indicators collectively signal a broad-based expansion across key pillars of the non-oil economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) echoed the optimism in its latest regional economic outlook, projecting that the UAE will maintain strong medium-term growth thanks to its effective policy mix and strategic diversification plans. The IMF said the UAE's fiscal and monetary policies, alongside targeted reforms in labour markets, green energy, and digital transformation, would underpin continued economic stability and competitiveness. The Central Bank of the UAE, in its most recent economic review, reaffirmed its growth forecast for 2024, noting that the non-oil sector remains the main engine of economic momentum. The apex bank said it expects the non-oil economy to grow by around 5.4 per cent in 2025, supported by steady domestic demand, robust trade activity, and rising levels of foreign direct investment (FDI). Analysts also highlight that the UAE's proactive steps toward climate resilience and hosting of global events such as COP28 have elevated its stature as a responsible economic player, further accelerating investment in green technologies, logistics, advanced manufacturing, and tourism infrastructure. Analysts added that as global headwinds from inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties persist, the UAE's diversified economic model and prudent policy framework appear well-positioned to deliver sustainable growth and opportunity across sectors. With its ambitious vision to double the size of the economy by 2031, the UAE is increasingly seen as a model of modernisation and economic agility in the Arab Gulf region, they noted.

UAE educators urge school-university alignment after new study abroad rules
Academicians in the UAE are calling for greater school-university collaboration as UAE recently updated its study abroad rules. Earlier this month, the country approved certain criteria for Emirati students pursuing higher education in universities abroad. To know about criteria for eligible institutions, read the report here. Along with enhancing career-readiness, the decision aims to regulate international scholarship options in accordance with UAE's aspirations. Educators stressed that that this move will additionally raise employability and leadership readiness. 'These criteria will encourage enrollment in high-quality institutions, ensuring students receive globally competitive education. This will also help enhance aspirations and academic standards in local schooling systems as students prepare for more selective and better universities,' Prof Rajesh Mohnot, head of Finance Department at College of Business Administration, Ajman University, said. He added, 'It will raise employability and leadership readiness by aligning education with global benchmarks in teaching, research, and innovation. This initiative will promote wise public investment, ensuring that government-sponsored scholarships are directed toward impactful educational outcomes.' Personalised academic and career advising Experts suggest schools and varsities must both work on curriculum enrichment emphasising rigorous academic content, international certifications, and exposure to research and innovation practices. 'In doing so, they can pay more attention to the most relevant spheres like STEM, AI, sustainability, and other forward-looking domains, aligning with global trends. I think the university-school partnerships can foster early career awareness, college readiness, and mentorship proving to be a game changer. Moreover, there will be dedicated efforts on inclusion of critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills in the learning outcomes using standardised test preparation (SAT, IELTS, etc.) as part of mainstream offerings,' added Mohnot. Educators further highlighted there will be an increased need for personalised academic and career advising, focusing on university selection, application strategies, and scholarship opportunities. A stronger data-driven advisory model will be necessary to track global rankings, subject-wise excellence, and admission trends. "These elevated standards encourage students to strengthen their foundational knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in more rigorous learning experiences. All these attributes are essential for success at top-ranked international universities. Also, universities should offer targeted bridge programs, research opportunities, and mentorship that expose students early to the demands of world-class academic environments,' said Dr Adam Fenech, provost at Canadian University Dubai. By elevating academic standards, the UAE aims to cultivate a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce capable of driving innovation and sustaining economic growth. 'This approach is consistent with the National Strategy for Higher Education 2030, which emphasises the importance of providing students with the technical and practical skills necessary to thrive in both public and private sectors, thereby supporting the development of a knowledge-based economy. Moreover, the UAE Vision 2021 underscores the goal of harnessing the full potential of national human capital by maximizing Emirati participation in the labour market and nurturing home-grown leaders,' added Fenech. New fast-track licensing and accreditation process Meanwhile, the UAE's new fast-track licensing and accreditation process that was announced in April is helping varsities maintain high academic standards. This major change is expediting the roll-out of new educational programmes, allowing universities to respond more quickly to the evolving needs of the market. 'The framework now focuses on evidence-based KPIs, including graduate employability, research output, and industry collaboration. This outcome-centric approach aligns higher education more closely with the UAE's national development goals and global competitiveness agenda. It also gives universities greater autonomy in making academic and operational decisions, while holding them accountable for student success, innovation, and impact,' said Dr Anita Patankar, executive director at Symbiosis Dubai. Educators noted that the change is significantly reducing administrative workload, allowing universities to focus on strategic improvements. 'The new process marks a paradigm shift from complex, time-consuming approvals to a streamlined and predictable framework. For universities like GMU, this has simplified documentation, enabled us to plan more efficiently, align programs with strategic timelines, and respond faster to emerging industry demands; ultimately allowing better budget forecasting and resource management,' Prof. Manda Venkatramana, Acting Chancellor, Gulf Medical University, Professor and Consultant Surgeon, Thumbay Hospital said.
