Twenty-nine new early childhood centres (ECCs) are due to open, too, in addition to seven centres that began welcoming students in June and July, including the first ECC to offer the Chinese curriculum in Dubai. The majority of new ECCs will offer the UK early years foundation stage curriculum.
The higher education landscape is also expanding with four new KHDA-licensed institutions set to open during the 2024-25 academic year. Three of them — SKEMA Business School from France, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics from Russia, and Symbiosis International University from India — offer bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes, and Neohorizon School of Business — a partnership between the UAE and China — offers a dedicated master’s degree in business.
Aisha Miran, director-general of KHDA said: “By welcoming these new schools, early childhood centres, and higher education institutions, we’re not just adding numbers, but creating more opportunities for our children and youth.
“We are committed to strengthening Dubai’s reputation as a leading destination for high quality education and remain dedicated to supporting the needs of our students, educators, and families. Together, we will ensure that every child in Dubai has access to the best possible education in an environment that nurtures their potential and prepares them for the future.”
