Dubai: A Dubai Private Schools Group is to be formed under the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in an attempt to strengthen the education sector, it was announced on Tuesday.

The group will act as a forum for private education providers to voice their concerns.

Currently under formation, Dubai Private Schools Group (DPSG) will work under the umbrella of Dubai Chamber with the objective of achieving the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the city as a premier global knowledge economy hub.

The DPSG will attain this by ensuring the best-in-class international schools in the emirate, operate efficiently and effectively, while national curriculum schools catering for the budget segment of Dubai's cosmopolitan population also operate cost-effectively and to high quality standard as an initiative from the private sector represented in this group.
