UAE ranked 40th in the UN Human Development Index in 2014 for the application of standards of purposeful education

 
Page Content




The UAE ranked 40th in the United Nations Human Development Index in 2014, maintaining its position in the last year among the 187 countries included in the index, which measures the performance of countries according to several criteria, which are, the quality of life and health, standard of living, knowledge accessibility, and education accessibility, including higher education, and it is a rank achieved as a result of the constant follow-up of His Excellency Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, on providing programs and educational services in accordance with the international standards of quality and excellence, as the Ministry’s mission is to reach the highest levels of excellence in higher education and scientific research outputs, and contribute to the achievement of the knowledge society and human development in the State through the provision of educational programs and services, as per the international standards of quality and excellence, and the Ministry has made significant strides in ensuring the quality of higher education, and has developed a long-term strategic plan to achieve its goals.

According to the United Nations Human Development Index in 2014, education accessibility is measured by calculating the average number of years of education among the adult population, which is the average number of years of education received by the age groups of 25 years or more, and the years of education expected for the child since they first enter school.

High-quality education is considered a cornerstone in building the knowledge economy, hence the Ministry was keen to continue improving the educational outcomes and bridging the gap between the needs of the labor market and what is produced by the institutions of higher education, which contributes to strengthening the position of the UAE as a knowledge-based economy.

The result of index is also attributed to the commitment in the application of standards of purposeful education, as the UAE has spared no effort to invest in the humans, and it has paid great attention to humans through investing heavily in the education systems over the past years, so it has allocated a percentage of total government spending for education, which reminds us of the words of his Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, Ruler of Dubai: When the appropriate circumstances are made available to the Arab man, he becomes able to provide civilizational achievements, because this region is a region of civilizations, and it is able to provide knowledge contributions for mankind. It is destined to create a civilization.

It is noteworthy that the United Nations Human Development Index is one of the many sources of data used in The Learning Curve Report, the analytical comprehensive report on education systems being developed by Pearson and the Economist Intelligence Unit, and the report is intended to help learners, teachers, and governments to identify the elements of effective teaching, and it shows the relationship between the education sector and economic growth, which connects between the productivity of a particular nation and the average time spent by students at school.
