His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member, Ruler of Sharjah and President of the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy (SPAA), expressed his pride in the graduates' talent and dedication during a ceremony held at the academy on Saturday morning.

Welcoming graduates from across the Arab world, from Mauritania to Oman, Sheikh Sultan praised their artistic and academic achievements and acknowledged the unwavering support of the academy's staff.

He also announced the launch of a new College of Music starting this September, affirming Sharjah's continued commitment to nurturing talent from the region.

Sheikh Sultan also unveiled plans to establish a new filmmaking programme, which will mark the completion of the academy's three-pillar focus: Theatre, Music and Cinema.

He said the development of such initiatives reflects Sharjah’s mission to uplift creative communities and offer transformative learning opportunities.

"This knowledge is one that can correct many errors, whether in individuals or nations," he said.

"We proceed with calm, measured steps. We do not set foot where there is error; we strive to correct it through the people who carry knowledge and must uphold it."

He congratulated the graduates and their families on this milestone.

Republicans just got a wake-up call on their midterm maps

After widespread defeats in last week's off-year elections, Republicans should realize they made a bad bet by following President Donald Trump's lead on mid-decade redistricting. Desperate not to lose the House in the midterms, the president sought to rig the game. He pressured legislatures in red states to create new Republican-leaning districts, and lawmakers duly redrew their maps. That weakened some safe red seats, but the GOP assumed that it would hurt Democrats more. Last Tuesday's results demonstrate the folly of Trump's gamble.
