“The development of the education sector is one of the most important goals of the SDGs. Therefore, providing education to all members of society is one of the key instruments for achieving that objective”

​

The Ministry of Education is moving forward to complete the process of developing and comprehensively and radically changing educational frameworks and streams as per a modern educational philosophy. The ministry initiated this philosophy with the launch of the Emirati School, which is based on the best international systems and pioneering and successful experiences within a national and sharing pattern and framework with all leading government and private educational institutions across the UAE.

The ministry’s move is in line with the wise leadership’s national visions aimed at achieving sustainable education by highlighting the need for continuous lifelong learning, enhancing the role of technology in serving the educational process, ensuring the best educational practices and modern curricula and establishing innovation as a lifestyle with a view to building a generation armed with the skills of this age and proud of its national identity.

The ministry also launched the initiative Teach for UAE, which aims to attract the talented and experts to volunteer to  work in the education sector to benefit from their vast experience in the field of education.

Besides providing continuous and sustainable education, the Ministry of Education has set up a health database for all UAE school students through Al Manhal Portal in order to provide them with health care at every age.  It also organizes field trips to  schools to raise health awareness and maintain healthy lifestyles in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Community Protection throughout the academic year.
