- Emphasis
- Gulf News stresses AI, skills, the labour market and higher education. The National stresses teachers' role in national progress, leadership support and teacher-family collaboration.
- Leaves out or plays down
- Neither outlet includes teachers' own views or criticism. The National does not mention AI; Gulf News does not quote the Education Minister.
