Education is one the most important factor that expatriates consider before shifting their families to Dubai. The same section in in-dubai.com deals with everything that is related to education ranging from schools and universities in Dubai to the steps taken by education council and ministry of education.
The constant growth of population within the Emirates has triggered off a substantial amount of investment being made in the field of education. An extensive education system from kindergarten to university is being offered to all residing male and female students within the UAE with the local students having the expenses of their education shouldered by the government. To add to it there also exists a good private education sector, whereas, there are around thousands of local students from both the sexes pursuing their education outside the country which is being sponsored by the government of Dubai.
Great amount of achievements have been accomplished since the early 1990’s along with steps now being taken to improve the quality of education for students from all walks of life. The role the UAE and Dubai government plays in this entire system is now being re-evaluated, particularly with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) bringing the privatization of the education sector to the forefront.
About 80 percent of male students and 95 percent of female students studying in the secondary school apply for higher education within the country or abroad. UAE nationals attend the tertiary level of education free of cost in government institutions and the rapidly rising private institutions, many of which with international accreditation supplement the public sector.
Student Rights and Laws in Dubai
Education in Dubai is overseen by Ministry of Education Dubai. The same body is responsible for implementing education policies across local and government schools and other such institutes in conjunction with respective local authorities. Individual till the age of 18 has to be sponsored by parents or immediate family members. After 18 it’s mandatory that students studies on a visa sponsored by the respective institute in which he/she is studying. There are also some set of laws approved by the ministry of education in conjunction with ministry of labour law, in which student can work for certain number of hours per week as well.
Education Institutes in Dubai
There are designated zones in which most of the higher education institutes are located. These are Knowledge Village and Dubai Academic City developed and managed by TECOM. Each of them will be discussed later under the same section.

Our Son has been attending the same private school in dubai for the past several years, together with his sister.
Because we didn’t register our son in time, for the up and coming school year 2011-2012, within their deadline time.
They have refused him a seat in the school for this mentioned school period.
For the reasons that they were full.
Although, they HAVE registered His sister Grade 4.
Does the school have the right to refuse a position for our son ?
Can we take a legal action against the school to ensure our son’s position of grade 5 in this school.
hi rino, wat the school did was really shocking. i personally think that the school doesnt have any right to do so. Did you try contacting the MOE Dubai, you can either contact MOE via phone or drop them an email. just for reference here is the list of other complaints submited to MOE: http://www.moe.gov.ae/English/Lists/Emails/AllItems.aspx
