Jumbo Electronics, one of the UAE's leading consumer electronics retailers, today announced Muaath Naser Abdulla as the winner of its Back to School competition, which offered one lucky student the chance to win their annual school fees.

The 19-year-old Emirati student received AED 25,000 in fees, which he will use to support his studies at the Higher Colleges of Technology, with the aim to obtain higher courses in computer science and programming, as well as marketing and management sciences.

Muaath Naser Abdulla won the Jumbo Electronics prize draw, which he entered by spending over AED 1,000 on back-to-school essentials – a laptop and supporting antivirus software.

Vikas Chadha, CEO of Jumbo Group, said: “We are committed to empowering future generations and continue to look for ways to make meaningful contributions to the localisation of talent, be it through colleague training initiatives or campaigns such as these. At Jumbo, we see education as one of the most important tools to success and we are delighted to support Muaath Nasser as he continues his studies to realise his career ambition in computer science and programming.

The prize was part of Jumbo Electronics’ Back to School campaign, which also saw it give away daily prizes of must-have technology, including more than 32 laptops, throughout August 2023, all designed to make learning easier as students prepared to head back to school.
