Impact and Evaluation

The milestone edition reflects the award’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Arabic’s role in a rapidly evolving knowledge landscape, with particular focus on how the language is taught, used and developed across education, technology, media and culture to keep it relevant to changing ways knowledge is created and shared.

Bilal Al Budoor, Secretary General of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Arabic Language Award, said, “The Award reflects a strategic vision that recognises Arabic as a fundamental pillar of cultural identity, knowledge, innovation and capability development across different sectors. We are committed to recognising initiatives that expand the use of Arabic, develop new approaches and tools for teaching the language, and strengthen its presence across digital platforms and different areas of development.”

He added, “Honouring the winners of the 10th edition is an opportunity to recognise individuals and institutions whose work is making an impact on the Arabic language. It also reflects our commitment to supporting initiatives that contribute to its continued development and expand its presence locally and internationally. Collaboration across education, culture, media and technology is essential to building a stronger future for Arabic and reinforcing Dubai and the UAE’s position as a leading centre for supporting the language and its continued development.”

The 10th edition attracted entries from individuals and institutions around the world, with initiatives and projects focused on advancing Arabic language education, increasing its use in contemporary contexts and expanding its application across knowledge and culture.

The judging committees completed the evaluation process based on criteria designed to ensure integrity and transparency, giving particular consideration to the quality of each initiative and its impact in advancing the Arabic language.
