In a move to encourage academic excellence and recognize student achievement, the Sharjah government has launched a new initiative called the 'Excellence License.' This program offers free driving licenses, covering all associated costs from eye tests to final exams, to the top ten graduates from government high schools.
The initiative is designed to reward outstanding academic performance while also supporting families and reducing financial burdens on students entering adulthood. The gesture not only celebrates scholastic dedication but also promotes social responsibility and personal development among youth in the emirate.
Officials stated that the Excellence License aims to inspire students to pursue higher goals and to value the importance of discipline, effort, and commitment both in their studies and in civic life. The initiative reflects Sharjah’s continued investment in education and youth empowerment.
Eligible students will receive full sponsorship for the driving license process, including medical testing, driving lessons, and exam fees. The selection will be based on final academic rankings issued by the Ministry of Education.
This announcement has been met with enthusiasm across the education sector and among parents, who see the move as a meaningful incentive for students and a thoughtful gesture of appreciation from the government.
The Excellence License is part of a broader series of youth-oriented initiatives launched in recent years to support education, skill-building, and social integration in the United Arab Emirates.
Further details on the application process and timelines are expected to be released by local authorities in the coming weeks.
