In its current stage, the program targets more than 75,000 students within 50 private schools in Dubai, which reflects the accelerated expansion of the program since its launch, and government agencies are keen to integrate financial education within the complementary curricula in schools, in line with the goals of the “Dubai Education Strategy 2033” and “Dubai Social Agency 33”.
This expansion comes based on the success achieved by the introductory stage of the program, which was launched within Dubai schools as an initiative that is the first of its kind in the region, and aims to enable students to absorb and adopt the concepts of savings and personal financial planning from an early age, through interactive units and innovative educational content.
In this context, Abdullah Mohamed Al -Awar, Executive Director of the Knowledge Fund Foundation, said: “The small investor program reflects our strategic direction in promoting specific education, and supporting initiatives that provide our students with practical life skills, foremost of which is financial skills.

He said: “We are proud of our partnership with the Knowledge Fund Foundation in implementing this unique program, which embodies our commitment to contributing to preparing a financially conscious generation, and is able to make studied financial decisions. Early financial education is the cornerstone of building a stable economically and prosperous society in the long term. Fasting technology surrounds students in various stages of their lives, we believe in the importance of providing them with the financial skills they need not only during their studies, but also in their working life later, to be more willing to a future that requires awareness, flexibility and the ability to make smart decisions.
Through this initiative, the Knowledge Fund Foundation seeks to contribute a tangible role in enhancing the integration of governmental and private roles, especially in terms of consolidating an integrated educational model that keeps pace with the requirements of the future, and supports the visions of good leadership and its directives of the importance of building a sustainable knowledge economy led by a learning and qualified generation for a more prosperous tomorrow.
