UAE: Free laptops for public school students; Strict usage policy every parent and student must know

For the 2025–26 academic year, the UAE government provided 46,888 laptops to public school students from Grade 5, reinforcing digital learning as over one million students returned to school. Strict rules govern usage, banning inappropriate content, unauthorized software, cyberbullying, and illegal activities. Backed by monitoring systems, legal enforcement, and parent oversight, this initiative is part of a wider strategy including new schools, staff recruitment, textbooks, and transportation upgrades.
