Dubai: The newly approved private education by-law has as a requirement the accreditation of all private schools in the country based on standards adopted by the Ministry of Education.
Dr Hanif Hassan, Minister of Education, has announced on Tuesday that the cabinet has approved new bylaws governing the operation and oversight of private schools in the UAE.
Strategic plan
He said that the new bylaws are in response to the strategic plan of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, calling for the decentralisation of direct oversight of private education from the Ministry of Education (MOE) to education councils and increasing efficiency and effectiveness of supervision.
The new bylaws continue the work of the ministry to improve educational opportunities and streamline government supervision in all areas of education.
