UAE-based Leams Education said it has launched a game-changing initiative introducing coding and robotics in classroom and laboratories, to make the students future-ready and help them acquire skills needed to excel in the new era dominated by Industry 4.0.

Coding and Robotics will create a new class of highly-employable students who will be in an advantageous position to pick up top jobs once they graduate. Many of them will also become job creators by launching technology start-ups.

As per the new initiative, the students are given early lessons and practical training on Coding, Robotics, Designing, Machine Learning and 3-D Printing that will help them to be ready for the Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Digital Disruption that are part of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR).

Leams Education, which operates Apple International School, Oxford School, The Indian Academy and Apple International Community School, has already conducted the test run of the pilot project for the last few months.
Today, its management announces the full-scale launch of the programme across all its institutions from the new academic session starting in August/September this year.

On the new courses, Group CEO Nabil Lahir said: “As a future-focused education management group, we want to make our students future-ready so that they do not have to struggle in life later on by acquiring new skills that are essential for the 4th Industrial Revolution that is changing the global economy into a digital economy and be the master of their own destiny,”

The announce comes at a time when the global robotics market records a 17.45% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from $27.73 billion in 2020 to $74.1 billion by 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence.
The usage of robots is still at its early stage in the UAE, which is expected to pick up in the coming years.

A recent report by Oxford Business Group says, automation will see many jobs in the labour market come under pressure. Based on a study of five GCC economies – Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE – global management consultancy firm McKinsey estimates that 42.6% of work in the GCC will be automated by 2030, somewhat ahead of the estimated global average of 32%.

Workers with a high-school-level education or below are most at risk of losing their jobs to 4IR technologies, and some 57% of those workers are expected to have their jobs replaced by automation by 2030, compared to just 22% of those who hold bachelor or graduate degrees.

Employees in the services, administration, construction and manufacturing sectors are most at risk, stated the study.

Dubai launches world’s first human–machine collaboration classification system

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Dubai Future Foundation, has approved the launch of a groundbreaking global initiative. This classification system clearly distinguishes the role of humans and machines in creating creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content.

A Transparent Approach to the Future of Content Creation

In a statement, Sheikh Hamdan said: “Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today’s rapid technological advances. This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That’s why we launched the world’s first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created.”

He urged researchers, publishers, writers, designers, and content creators worldwide to adopt this system responsibly and in a manner that benefits society.

As part of the initiative, all Dubai Government entities have been instructed to implement the classification system in their research and knowledge-driven activities.

About the Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) Classification

Developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, the HMC classification system introduces a new standard for content transparency. It allows users to visually identify the extent of human vs. machine contribution in the creation of any piece of work, from research reports and academic papers to design and digital media.

The classification applies across multiple sectors, including research, publishing, content creation, and design, all of which are increasingly influenced by automation and AI.

The Five Main HMC Icons

The system features five core icons to represent levels of human–machine collaboration:

  • All Human – Fully created by a human, no machine involvement
  • Human-led – Created by a human with machine assistance for accuracy or improvement
  • Machine Assisted – Collaborative creation between human and machine
  • Machine-led – Machine-driven content with human verification
  • All Machine – Fully generated by machines, without human input

In addition, nine functional icons highlight specific stages where collaboration took place, including ideation, data collection, analysis, interpretation, writing, visuals, and translation.

While the icons don’t quantify the exact level of machine contribution, they offer a transparent, standardised way to disclose collaboration, empowering creators and consumers alike.

A Global Call to Action

The HMC classification is designed to be adaptable across industries and compatible with all types of media, including text, image, and video content.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with multiple government agencies, has carried out more than 1,000 inspections targeting delivery motorcycle riders across the city, as part of an ongoing campaign to boost road safety and enforce regulatory compliance in the fast-growing delivery sector.

The joint effort included participation from Dubai Police, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Dubai Municipality, and the Dubai Health Authority.

The inspections focused on high-traffic areas such as Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah, and Motor City, according to Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the RTA’s Licensing Agency.

Key violations detected:

  • Riders not wearing protective gear
  • Lack of certified training
  • Reckless driving
  • Operating vehicles without proper documentation

As a result, 19 motorcycles were impounded, and multiple warnings were issued.

To support education and compliance, the RTA also distributed QR codes linking riders to safety videos and training resources in multiple languages.

“It’s essential for delivery companies and riders to strictly follow all safety and licensing rules,” said Mahboob.
“This is not just about regulations, it’s about protecting lives and improving service quality across the emirate.”

Why it matters

With the rise in food delivery and e-commerce, delivery motorcycles have become a common sight on Dubai’s roads, and ensuring rider safety directly impacts everyone who shares the road.

The RTA confirmed that it will continue to run regular joint inspection and awareness campaigns to maintain a safe and sustainable delivery environment.
