The UAE National Agenda Parameter

In 2014, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid launched the UAE National Agenda. It includes a set of strategic educational targets that shape the next
phase of educational development in the UAE. The targets cover a wide range of areas that will have an impact on the quality of education and as well as
students’ achievements across the different phases.

“Education is a fundamental element for the development of a nation and the best investment in its youth.” UAE VISION 2021

The UAE Vision 2021 National Agenda emphasises the development of a first-rate education system, which will require a complete transformation of the
current education system and teaching methods. The National Agenda aims for all schools, universities and students to be equipped with Smart systems
and devices as a basis for all teaching methods, projects and research. There will also be significant investments to promote and reinforce enrollment in
preschools as this plays an important role in shaping children’s personalities and their future.
