Under the ‘Hayyakum’ initiative, children of frontline healthcare professionals will receive scholarships to attend public schools in the UAE. Scholarship will be provided from the academic year 2020-21 until graduation from high school. It covers the cost of tuition, laptop and transportation.

‘Hayyakum’ aims to provide the children of frontline healthcare professionals high-quality education while alleviating the financial stress faced by their parents and encouraging them to stay for a longer term in the UAE.

This initiative is part of a wider collaborative framework between Ministry of Education and the Frontline Heroes Office to ensure sustainable funding for the scholarship and also launch and implement other education-focused initiatives to benefit children of frontline healthcare professionals.
