Market Driver

The UAE's early education sector has experienced significant growth due to the increasing awareness among parents about the importance of childhood education. Traditionally, homeschooling was popular in the UAE, but with the rise of working women and dual-income households, the demand for kindergartens and pre-primary schools has increased dramatically. Pre-primary education was previously unpopular in Arab culture, but the growing expatriate population and changing perceptions have fueled its growth. Government initiatives, such as UAE Vision 2021, support the education of toddlers in competitive settings and provide a foundation for higher studies. This program aims to develop a cohesive, sustainable, and prosperous society through UAE-educated global citizens. The increasing number of working mothers necessitates a professional learning environment for their children, benefiting both the children and the societal and economic development of the UAE. Institutions like Emirates British Nursery offer foundation-stage curriculums, such as Minibeasts, for children aged three and above, fostering curiosity, knowledge, and imagination. These factors are expected to bolster the growth of the education market in the UAE during the forecast period. 

The Education Market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is thriving, with a focus on executive education, academic programs, and short-term workshops for professionals. Job commitments often limit long-term study, making corporate training, seminars, and upskilling through digital skills essential. Universities and colleges offer scholarships for skilled professionals, fostering a knowledge-based economy. The National Skilling Program and learning and development initiatives prioritize employee engagement. Digital skills are in high demand for the growing digital workforce. Private players dominate the K-12 sector, including primary, intermediate, and Kindergarten levels. Test preparation centers and content services market cater to students' academic needs. Public schools collaborate with private counterparts to improve curriculum design and ownership laws welcome foreign investors.
