To pay tribute to the UAE on the 44th National Day, 6,958 Gems students from 35 schools across the country came together to wish everyone a Happy National Day by forming the world’s largest human sentence.

Validated by Guinness World Records officials, the students gathered together on the sports field of Gems Modern Academy in Dubai, to form the human sentence as teachers guided them to their positions.

“The UAE National Day commemorates the historic union of the seven emirates. It is indeed the perfect time to celebrate the great achievements of the nation,” said Dino Varkey, Group Executive Director and Board Member, Gems Education.

“We want to thank our parents, teachers, students and the authorities for their support and enthusiasm in creating such a memorable occasion.”

The previous record of 6,262 people was set by the Tiens Group of China on May 8, 2015.
