Ten public schools will be selected to bring forward new standards aimed at raising the standard of education in the UAE to international levels, which is coordinated by the newly established Education Coordination and Integration Council, councils and authorities.
The council is chaired by Dr Hanif Hassan, Minister of Education, who set the second meeting yesterday to address key changes needed in education such as developing academic standards and performance, linking the curriculum with the requirements of the job market.
