EDUCATIONIN THE UAECurriculums, academic calendar and school fees

Educational standards and the selection of institutions across the UAE are excellent, whether you are enrolling your child into nursery or learning new skills as an adult.

The emirates are home to various international and government nurseries, schools and universities offering top quality education. School inspections are now compulsory, and teachers will be soon have to be licensed (as in western countries). Local schools are restricted primarily to Arabic-speaking Emiratis, so you will need to enrol your child in

a private school. Although prices can be high, your child will learn Arabic and other languages from a young age, the facilities are world-class, and schools are a mix of nationalities. The number of students enrolled in private schools in Dubai is currently 225,000, and there are 185,000 students in Abu Dhabi.

Both emirates have plans to build more new schools by 2020. There are also a growing number of internationally accredited colleges and universities offering courses in the arts, sciences, business and engineering sectors.

certification by the British government; According to the KHDA rankings for 2012/13, nine out of the 12 Outstanding schools in Dubai follow a UK curriculum.

School FeesSchool fees are a contentious issue for many parents. For a good school, you can expect to pay Dhs.25,000 plus per year during the primary years, Dhs.30,000 and up for the middle primary years, and as much as Dhs.60,000 per year for secondary school.

If youre lucky, your company may include an education allowance for school fees as part of your employment package, though this is no longer very common. It also costs around Dhs.500 to put your childs name on a waiting list, and a theres a registration fee (around Dhs.2,000), which is deducted from your annual costs.

Banks offer loans to help cover the cost of school fees and the United Arab Bank has a New Arrival Package designed for newcomers who need financial help to get started. The package goes a long way to helping with school fees.

ADEC Rankings In Abu Dhabi in 2012 the Irtiqaa programme was launched by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) to rate the quality of schools. Schools are inspected every two years.

Eight standards are taken into consideration: students attainment and progress; students personal development; the quality of teaching and learning; the meeting of students needs through the curriculum; the protection, guidance and support of children; the quality of the schools property; their resources; and the effectiveness of leadership and management.

All schools fall into one of three bands: Band A 1, Outstanding; 2, Very Good; 3, GoodBand B 4, Satisfactory and Improving; 5, SatisfactoryBand C 6, Unsatisfactory; 7, Very Unsatisfactory; 8, Poor

KHDA RankingsThe Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is Dubais regulatory body for private education at all levels, from early childhood to adult learning.

Since inspections began in 2008, KHDA reports have ranked every school in Dubai from Outstanding and Good to Acceptable and Unacceptable; schools that perform well can increase their fees at a steeper percentage than poorer performing schools. School inspections are carried out annually by the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB).

Assessments are based on a wide range of criteria, from academic achievements in core subjects to the attitude of students; higher rankings often come hand in hand with the quality of teaching of Islamic and Arabic subjects. See khda.gov.ae for more information and for a breakdown of each schools result.

British schools can now apply for inspection and British School Overseas

School UniformsMost private schools in the UAE will insist on students wearing the official school uniform. Each school will use a particular uniform supply shop and this will be the only place where you can buy official school items. Before heading out and spending a fortune on uniforms, check with the school and with other parents which items are compulsory and which are not.


THE EARLY YEARSprogress. You may prefer a nursery that is within walking distance of your home or en route to the office. Bear in mind that traffic can often get very congested at pick-up and drop-off time during term time.

CurriculumMost nurseries will follow one particular curriculum mainly International, English (Early Years Foundation Stage/EYFS) or Montessori. Quite often there will be an amalgamation of approaches with more of a focus on childrens social and personal development than on any one particular countrys curriculum.

EYFS is designed to prepare children for entry to the UKs Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) at school. EYFS focuses on: communication and language, and physical, personal, social and emotional development. Assessments are made throughout a childs time at the nursery, creating a profile to help teachers understand the child and tailor a curriculum to suit their development.

Most nurseries are open for four or five hours in the morning and charge anything from Dhs.3,000 to Dhs.12,000 per term. You can pay extra in many nurseries if you need to drop your child off earlier or collect them later, often until 18:00. In general, classes of between 10 and 20 children are staffed by a nursery teacher and as many as three teaching assistants.

Selecting a NurseryThe UAEs Ministry of Social Affairs is currently developing a nursery rating system to help you choose a school but, for the time being, parents will have to make this decision based on their own research.

Dont be surprised if your child starts learning Arabic or even French from as young as one. Another factor to consider is whether or not a nursery provides meals.

The location of your nursery will also be a key factor in your decision making

TERM TIME

Getting a School PlaceThe best bet is to apply to three or four schools to register your child on a school waiting list theres usually a Dhs.500 non-refundable fee. If places are available, your child will be assessed and then either offered a place or put on another waiting list. Assessments are usually held at the childs nursery or at the school, and tend to just observe the child at play. The chances of a place increase with siblings, who get priority, or if your child is in an affiliated nursery.

Holiday CalendarThe summer holidays stretch for 10 weeks over the hottest months of July and August. There are also holidays in April and December. Schools close for at least a week twice a year for Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, and will most likely also open for reduced hours during the month of Ramadan.

At schools which follow an Indian or Pakistani curriculum, the term starts in April and ends the following March.

Boarding SchoolsRepton School Dubai was the first boarding school to open in Dubai, and has boarding facilities for up to 100 boys and 20 girls. Abu Dhabi is set to have its first boarding school when Cranleigh Abu Dhabi opens on Saadiyat Island in September 2014.

There is a wide choice of international curriculums at the UAEs primary and secondary schools, but many schools follow either the English National Curriculum, American Curriculum or International Baccalaureate Programme (IB). International schools are typically open to all nationalities.

Other curriculums include the CBSE/ICSE, an ideal option for Indian nationals who want to continue their childs education internationally, but expect to settle back in India. It educates students to CBSE and ICSE level to the end of Year 12.

There are also schools offering the Canadian Alberta based curriculum; the Australian Diploma (DP), the Middle Years (MYP) and the Primary Years (PYP); and the French curriculum.

Primary and secondary schools cater to the expat community

School TransportIf you are not able to do the school run every day, you can pay for the bus services offered by most schools. The advantages are that you avoid having to deal with heavy traffic, and strict regulations mean that bus safety standards are high.
