Schooling in the Second Largest Land Territory in UAE

Posted: Mar 03, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

In every country, there will be a different set of schooling rules and system. Schools in Dubai are no exception. Hence, here are some of the things you should know about schooling in Dubai.

First of all, you will need to choose a specific curriculum you would like your child to undergo. This is because there are many different types of curriculum offered, like English, American, French, German, Australian, and Indian. However, there is a rule under their Ministry of Education that dictates that all non Arabic students in private schools will need to be taught 4 lessons of Arabic a week, from year 1 to year 9. Furthermore, it is mandatory for Muslim students to attend Islamic Study classes.

You will also need to decide prior to registering in a school if you want your child to be in a primary school that is affiliated with a secondary school. In affiliated schools, students will automatically gain entry into the secondary school; however, it is difficult to get into year 7 if the school is not affiliated. Regardless, do find for schools that are nearby home because the temperatures can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and getting trapped in traffic then would be uncomfortable. Make sure you decide on the best school because no child is allowed to change schools until the end of the academic year, or with the approval of the Ministry of Education.

Apart from that, there is difference between profit and non-profit schools, where the latter is administered by a Board of Governors where the school can receive reinvestments, while the former is owned by the private sector which means money will be invested in the school, but the shareholders will seek for returns. Anyhow, most schools have a long wait list due to the economic downturn. Lastly, the schools in Dubai have to observe the Islamic holidays that may occur last minute. International school students would be happy to know that they have long summer holidays in July and August.
