| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Emirati School programme, an initiative launched under Abu Dhabi's education reform drive to shift public schooling away from rote-learning models toward applied curricula. Commemorative dirhams tied to domestic social policy are relatively uncommon in UAE coinage history — the Central Bank has far more frequently issued such pieces for international events or Islamic heritage themes.
