Building on the success of the inaugural edition, this year's awards included 16 categories, with new areas highlighting efforts in Al integration, anti-bullying initiatives, school collaboration with Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), and expanded recognition for early education institutions.

More than 500 submissions were evaluated by subject matter experts, who identified impactful initiatives and meaningful efforts that went above and beyond in creating nurturing learning environments where students can truly thrive.

The Awards also recognised 17 schools for demonstrating significant improvement in student progress and attainment across Standardised Benchmark Assessments (SBA), in English, Math, and Science.

The ADEK Awards are more than a recognition, it is a call to action and a reminder to nurture innovation and celebrate collaboration, empowering schools to champion best practices that will shape lifelong learners who contribute meaningfully to society and are future-ready.
