  • The Education System in UAE – School Structure and Admissions
    The Education System in UAE – School Structure and Admissions Are you moving to the UAE with your family and looking for a school for your child? Here is some useful information on the education system in UAE and the school admission process. UAE Education System In the UAE, education is compulsory for all Emiratis children aged five and above, including expat residents. Primary and secondary education in state institutions is provided free for every UAE national up to the age of 18. The UAE education system is a four-tier system. Nursery Education - Nursery education in Dubai begins at a tender age with children of eighteen months to two years getting admitted to nursery schools. Basic English language speaking skills are developed in students of this age group. Kindergarten Education - Children of four to five years are admitted to Kindergarten where they get taught various subjects like English, Arabic, Mathematics, Music, and Art. At this level ‘Religion’ is also part of the syllabus and students are taught their respective religion. Primary Education - Students admitted to primary school are generally around six years. English is the main language of instruction in most primary schools. However, many other schools teach in Arabic and some in foreign languages such as Hindi, French as well Russian. Secondary Education - After completing primary school, students move to secondary or high schools. There are two kinds of high schools in Dubai, the ordinary schools that focus on academic subjects and the technical schools which focus on imparting specific skills in students. Although the Emirates have several excellent accredited universities and other tertiary education institutions like the United Arab Emirates (UAE) University and Zayed University, most expatriates prefer to send their children back to their native country or Western nations such as Australia and U.K for higher education.

    The Dubai Initiative Working Paper American- and French-Affiliated Universities in the Middle East as ‘Information and Resource Bridges’ to the West Executive Summary Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, PhD American- and French-Affiliated Universities in the Middle East as ‘Information and Resource Bridges’ to the West Executive Summary Dubai Initiative – Working Paper Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, PhD The Dubai Initiative Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 2009 American- AnD French-AffiliateD UnIversitieS In the Middle East as ‘InFormation AnD reSoUrCe BridgeS’ To the West | 1 American- AnD French-AffiliateD UnIversitieS In the Middle East as ‘InFormation AnD reSoUrCe BridgeS’ To the West | 1 The history of American- and French-origin universities in the Middle East is prominent and revealing. During the past 15 or so years, mainly Ameri- can-affiliated universities have appeared in large numbers in the Gulf states and elsewhere in the Middle East. Research into both types of universities shows that these educational institutions play an important role as ‘information and resource bridges’ between the Middle East and the West. These universities raise awareness and function as repositories for considerable amounts of knowledge, elite-level human resources, as well as financial resources. Important developments have oc- curred between the time the older universities were established and the newer ones, such as decolonization and empowerment of the host societies in the Middle East, which have placed the control and initiative largely in local hands. Universities are, therefore, very efficient instruments for countries to build strong ties to outside societies, share information, raise mutual awareness, exchange elite-level human resources and—perhaps to a lesser extent today—raise financial resources for edu- cation, research and health care.
