The session highlighted the programmes’ key features, strategic objectives, national educational goals, and the college's strategy to empower qualified future educators to achieve academic and educational excellence in the UAE school system.
Dr May AlTaee, Vice-Chancellor of ECAE, said: "Arabic Language and Islamic Studies have long been foundational to the UAE’s school curriculum, serving as pillars of our cultural and educational identity since the pre-union era. These disciplines are strategic priorities that support our goals and plans for shaping the future of education.
"Furthermore, they are aligned with our leadership’s vision and commitment to promoting the dissemination and learning of these subjects as fundamental tools for preserving our national identity and values. By empowering qualified educators in these vital disciplines, we aim to ensure the adoption of innovative practices in teaching Arabic and Islamic studies to inspire school students, while safeguarding cultural values in a continuously evolving educational landscape.”

The programme has three new tracks: Arabic Language for Secondary Education, Islamic Studies for Secondary Education, and Arabic Language and Islamic Studies for Primary/Early Years Education.
