The Ministry of Culture and Youth announced earlier today the launch of Reading Month 2022 under the slogan ‘UAE Reads’. The Reading Month embodies the national vision to prepare a generation of readers and establish the UAE as a culture and knowledge hub.

The initiative aims to establish reading as a habit among 50 percent of Emirati adults and 80 percent of school students by the year 2026.

The Reading Month is an annual event during which various government and private entities along with educational and cultural institutions participate in a roster of programs to build a readers’ society armed with science and knowledge.
