Ministry of Education Regulations on Schools in UAE

Through a large investment in human power, the UAE was keen to create the conditions necessary to build pioneering Emirati institutions with a high-quality learning environment, equipped with state-of-the-art technology tools, that permit generations of students to complete their higher education. This started with the opening of the UAE University, Higher Colleges of Technology, Zayed University in Abu Dhabi, and private higher education institutions, supported by new academic disciplines in order to meet labor market requirements that promote creativity among national youth. The Ministry of Education (MOE) has worked hard to improve the quality of the curriculum to follow best global practices. The Ministry further promotes the country’s strategy for promoting a culture of creativity and innovation by providing students with the capability to adapt to global trends, encourage education, and lead them towards new horizons.

Aims and Objectives Tolerance: Incorporating tolerance into the school curriculum and adapting it to the culture within the school community. Many policies and services have been initiated to instill and reinforce this human value. The Ministry of Education is also committed to fostering communication between the various groups of society and to contributing to communal initiatives aimed at strengthening community cohesion, voluntary and charitable works.

Early Childhood: The Ministry has established programs and initiatives that cater to this category. The Ministry also provides the best supervisory curriculum and curriculum to improve the expertise and competencies of students.

Gamification: Incorporating early childhood educational games to ease the delivery of information to children, to help them absorb it more quickly, and to think about learning about themselves. The curriculums at this phase mimic children’s academic and mental capabilities, using global inspection and sharing- and entertainment-based principles. Parents are involved and familiar with the value for their children of this stage to learn information.

Scholars with scholarships in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia are paid AED 12,000 per month. In contrast, distinguished scholars are paid AED 15,000 per month, according to the Financial Regulations published in the Official Gazette. Scholarship holders in Japan and South Korea are paid AED 15,000 per month.

Scholars also earn a one-time relocation fund of AED 6,000, an annual return fare, and the probability of a second return ticket in the event of an emergency. The government also pays tuition fees in compliance with the degree plan that has been approved. Such fees will be charged in compliance with an official document from the educational institute as well as attestation from the scholarship authorities. If the scholar does not have any such prescription benefits, the government will reimburse his or her medical care and medicine.
