What is the Student Citizenship Program?

The Student Citizenship Introduction Program (SCIP), under the patronage of HH General Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will be operating in fifty seven schools across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, including five girls’ schools and six Institute of Applied Technology colleges across the UAE. The Program will build on the success of the SCP Orientation Phase which acted as a pilot scheme. The program will include Life Skills, an introduction to the Police Service and a Military syllabus. It will be delivered in an exciting and new student centred teaching philosophy that will empower the students to develop and learn about themselves and fulfill their potential.

The Program will be delivered by an international team of handpicked instructors who have a wealth of expertise and experience in developing young people. The very best of the Emirati military instructors will be accompanied by a corps of Former-British military instructors who specialize in modern coaching and mentoring techniques which will bring out the very best qualities in the young people. The Life Skills team of instructors are all qualified personal development coaches who have a wealth of experience in coaching young people in the UK, Australia, New Zealand the USA and throughout the world.

One of the new developments to the Program will be to instruct female students. This will prepare them to take their place alongside their male counterparts as leaders and equals in both the defense of the UAE and the building of the UAE’s institutions and industries
