STUDY IN DUBAI

Education in Dubai:
A rapid rise in population has necessitated a considerable investment in education.Today,the UAE offers a comprehensive education to all male and female students from kindergarten to university,with education for the countrys citizens being provided free at all levels.There is also an extensive private education sector,while several thousand students,of both sexes, pursue courses of higher education abroad at Government expense.Much has been achieved since the early 1970 s but efforts are now being made to improve the educational environment for all pupils,in line with a reevaluation of the role of government.In particular,Abu Dhabi Education Council,is spearheading privatisation of the education sector in Abu Dhabi.Ninety five percent of all females and 80 percent of all males who are enrolled in the final year of secondary school apply for admission to a higher education institution in the UAE or study abroad.Nationals can attend government tertiary level institutions free of charge,and a wide and rapidly increasing range of private institutions,many with international accreditation,supplement the public sector.

The Al Ainbased United Arab Emirates University continues to be the countrys flagship national institution of higher education,whilst newer institutions such as Zayed University,which has campuses in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, were establised in 1998 by the Federal Government to educate national women and prepare them to actively participate in society.The Higher colleges of Technology,on the other hand offer a more technically oriented education in 12 well equipped colleges spread throughout the United Arab Emirates.

HCT, in conjunction with its commercial arm,the centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training,prides itself on responding quickly and effectively to current needs in the regional and international workplace.Notable private institutions include the American Universities of Sharjah and Dubai,Sharjah University and the Ajman University of science and Technology.Recent entrants to the educational marketplace include Abu Dhabi University,Al Hosn University in Abu Dhabi and an Aub Dhabi chapter of the sorbonne.
