Recently, I was posed with this very question... Would I prioritize education over freedom?
In a heartbeat.
The idea of having freedom becomes ever-so fleeting if you cant place value on it, and that can only be achieved through education. After all, wasnt education but an idea in one mans head?
The importance of education cannot be put on the back-burner for any other cause, for with education, all is possible.
Which takes me to my next point: The current education system.
The system in place here is backwards. The government schools expect you to memorize work, rather than understand, and rate you accordingly. Private schools, with the exception of a handful, are worse.
There is some effort by the Mohd Bin Rashid establishment for young business leaders and similar groups to get more education out there, but I believe it needs to be on a much, much, larger scale.
Wide-Scale reforms, and analyses of the effectivness of our tutoring must be undertaken, for there is no other way to truly realize the dream of a perfect United Arab Emirates.

Your point--it's sharp.
But its a point that must be made, dani...
Thanks for posting guys
One of the worst aspects of living in the UAE is the education. It's absolutely horrendous. The standards are so low.. it's depressing.
Instead of spending millions on housing projects, gigantic malls, etc, they should shape up the education system.
