So many CBSE 2025 students can breathe a sigh of relief for these results…
After lots of nervous waiting from students across the UAE, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the results for the 2025 Class 12 board exams on Tuesday, May 13.
The results were revealed and a total of 88.39 per cent of students passed the board exams. 0.41 per cent more students passed since last year. However the girls have come out on top with 91 per cent of them passing the exams, outshining the boys by over 5.94 per cent points as 85.12 per cent of boys passed the exams.
The result of Class 10 board exams will also be announced soon so we'll have to wait a little bit longer for those. Each year there is no definite date for release of results so students must wait patiently until the awards are announced.
Students can check their results on the official CBSE websites.
To access CBSE Results 2025, examinees will need to log in using their roll number, admit card ID, school code, and date of birth. According to reports there are over 80 CBSE-affiliated schools in the UAE. Dubai private schools, specifically the for-profit private schools in the emirate, could see an increase in fees next year as the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has approved an Education Cost Index of 2.35 per cent for the next academic year 2025-2026, Gulf Business has reported.
Congratulations to all…

US Senate permits arms sales to Qatar, UAE amidst controversy over jet gifted to Trump
Arms sales to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have been given the go-ahead after a Democratic Party-led effort to halt them failed in a US Senate vote on Wednesday. The resolutions failed 39-56, allowing the deal to proceed. Democrats had introduced legislation in the Republican-controlled Senate to block weapons sales to the two Gulf states over allegations of corruption. Lawmakers alleged that the Pentagon's acceptance of a $400m Qatari jet and an Emirati firm's recent investment in a Trump-affiliated cryptocurrency had compromised the integrity of the sales. The resolutions sought to stymie a $1.9bn weapons sale to Qatar and a $1.3bn weapons sale to the UAE. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The Qatar sale consisted of eight MQ-9 Reaper drones, a model previously employed by the US in Gaza and Yemen, along with Hellfire II missiles and 227-kg bombs. The second resolution opposed the sale of six Chinook helicopters to the UAE. Arms sales to the UAE have previously faced criticism over the UAE's support for the Rapid Support Forces, a Sudanese faction accused by some, including the US State Department, of committing acts of genocide. Corruption accusations Democrats say the weapons sales are tainted with corruption. Qatar recently gifted the Pentagon a $400m jet, which will be refurbished to serve as Air Force One before being retired to US President Donald Trump's presidential library. The jet had become the centre of political controversy after Democrats likened the gift to a bribe. How Turkey and Qatar are playing an outsized role in Trump's new Middle East Read More » Additionally, last month, an Emirati firm invested $2bn in a Trump-affiliated cryptocurrency. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who backed the resolution opposing the arms sales, alleged that these deals compromised the integrity of the sales. 'My case is that so long as the relationship is corrupted by the gifts to Trump, we can't move forward on these arms sales… there are legitimate underlying policy debates on the two sales, but my case here is you should look beyond the merits of the sale and really focus on the corruption,' Murphy stated earlier this week. The resolutions to block the arms sales failed, however, with five Democrats joining Republicans to support the sales. Senate Republicans dismissed the resolutions as political theatre, with Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair Jim Risch saying they 'make arms sales to some of our closest allies in the Middle East about partisan politics'. Republican Senator Rand Paul voted "present" on the resolutions.

China's Coffee Battle Deepens with Strategic Price Cuts
Starbucks has announced price reductions averaging 5 yuan on select iced and tea‑based beverages in China, marking a significant shift in its pricing strategy within its second‑largest market. The move, effective from this Tuesday, will place some drinks at 23 yuan, aiming to broaden appeal during afternoon hours amid mounting competitive and economic pressures. China's coffee landscape has grown increasingly fragmented, driven by a prolonged deflationary trend and cautious consumer sentiment. Deflation persisted into its fourth month as of May, with consumer prices dipping 0.1 per cent year‑on‑year, prompting retailers across sectors to adjust pricing. Domestic chains such as Luckin Coffee, Manner Coffee and Cotti Coffee now retail Americanos for between 14–15 yuan, while and Alibaba‑affiliated delivery services can bundle drinks via promotions for as low as 2.9 yuan. Bubble‑tea giant Mixue has entered the fray with tea coffees priced at around 6.9 yuan, following a $444 million IPO in Hong Kong. A spokesperson closely involved with Starbucks China, speaking anonymously, maintained that the adjustments are not a capitulation to a price war but rather a strategic effort to attract more afternoon foot traffic, particularly towards non‑coffee offerings like frappuccinos and tea lattes. This follows a subtle shift over recent months, where the company introduced smaller drink sizes and more digital coupons to stimulate transactions. ADVERTISEMENT As of late 2024, Starbucks operates 7,685 outlets across the mainland, having added a roasting plant in Kunshan and continued store expansion. Nonetheless, slowing China growth—4.7 per cent in Q2 2024—and deflationary trends have eroded consumer confidence, with job insecurity prompting tighter spending in discretionary areas such as cafés. Starbucks' appeal has long rested on its 'third‑place' ambience—charging premium for experience. But critics and analysts note that domestic players emphasise product innovation and affordability. Kearney's Sherri He described the shift: 'Starbucks is targeting white‑collar professionals… but broader masses opt for lower‑cost, trend‑driven products'. Indeed, Luckin now runs more than 20,000 stores nationwide, tripling Starbucks' footprint in major urban centres. Luckin's resurgence—after accounting scandals and bankruptcy—has been marked by aggressive volume strategies and rapid recovery in same‑store sales, recording triple‑digit net income growth in late 2024. That firm's continued expansion underscores the pricing threat Starbucks faces, particularly in lower‑tier cities where cost sensitivity is acute. Analysts point to broader strategic recalibrations within Starbucks. Last week, the company reportedly explored partnerships and divestments tied to its China operations as part of a wider turnaround push. In recent financial reports, Starbucks admitted North America and China comp store performance remained under pressure, with CEO Brian Niccol pledging menu simplification and improved customer experience. Starbucks' pivot seems aimed at reintroducing affordability while defending its premium image. While global chains retreat from steep discounting, in China delivering price accessibility may be essential ground‑level defence. Observers will be monitoring whether afternoon footfall increases and if lower price points sustain margins amid stiff competition. The broader market vibrates with innovation and localisation. Domestic players are accelerating menu iterations—bubble‑tea flavours, brown sugar boba lattes, coconut‑coconut variants—tailored to Gen‑Z preferences. Mixue's model, which prioritises ingredient and equipment revenues to franchisees, allows ultra‑low pricing and rapid store proliferation—a direct challenge to Starbucks' directly‑operated format. Starbucks' push into smaller Chinese towns—far beyond tier‑one cities—is another key differentiator. With a goal of opening 9,000 outlets by end‑2025, the company is banking on long‑term expansion even as urban discretionary spending decelerates. But this scale‑up entails heightened exposure to price‑led local competitors.
