In its first phase, the program is open to inmates who meet the admission criteria and established guidelines. Participants will enroll in the Bachelor of Social Studies in Tolerance and Peace program and complete their studies through distance learning from within the institutions.

The program provides the required technical equipment, along with academic supervision and coordination, to create a suitable learning environment in which students can pursue their studies in accordance with university requirements.

His Excellency Staff Brigadier General Hamid Salem Al Naqbi, Acting Director General of Punitive and Correctional Institutions, said the program is part of the Ministry of Interior’s efforts to develop the educational and rehabilitation programs offered to inmates and to invest in their abilities, helping them build their futures and preparing them for a constructive return to society.

He explained that the academic program was designed in collaboration with the university in line with recognized best practices and standards, and that its academic content and courses were selected to meet both academic and professional requirements. The aim, he said, is to give inmates access to university education, develop their academic and intellectual abilities, and support reform and rehabilitation through an integrated approach that addresses both educational and social needs.

His Excellency Dr. Khalifa Mubarak Al Dhaheri, Chancellor of Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities, said the partnership affirms university education as an essential part of rehabilitation and reform. It reflects the university’s conviction that developing a person’s understanding and abilities is an investment in the security and cohesion of society, and that the period of rehabilitation should lay the foundation for the life that follows.

He added that the university’s role in the program is part of its academic and humanitarian responsibility to give individuals knowledge that can help them change the course of their lives, and to make education the basis for a future they build through their own understanding, effort, and contribution.

The program was launched under the cooperation and strategic partnership agreement between the Ministry of Interior and Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities. It reflects the value of coordinated institutional efforts in supporting education and in advancing initiatives that develop skills, capabilities, and professional competence.
