• The Ministry of Education has adopted “Education 2021,” a series of three-years plan designed to introduce advanced education techniques, improve innovative skills, and focus more on the self-learning abilities of students. As part of this program, an enhanced curriculum for mathematics and integrated science was introduced at first-grade level for the 2003–4 academic year in all government schools.

• UAE President H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan established Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), an independent Abu Dhabi-based corporate body, in 2005 to develop education in Abu Dhabi, and promote a culture of creativity, sustainability and excellence, with focus on developing human, social and economic capabilities.
Education at primary and secondary levels is universal and compulsory up to the ninth grade. This takes place in a four-tier process over 14 years:
• 4 to 5 year-olds attend kindergarten
• 6 to 11 year-olds attend primary schools
• the preparatory stage caters for children aged between 12 and 14 and
• 15 to 17 year-olds attend secondary schools.

• The education system through secondary level is monitored by the Ministry of Education (MOE). It consists of primary schools, middle schools and high schools. The MOE develops and monitors reform activities, with a focus on standards-based, student-centred education. These efforts include a partnership with National Association of Elementary School Principals in the United States.

• The MOE is constantly honing its educational strategy to ensure that the programs developed in its schools comply with international standards, with particular focus on introducing the latest IT resources at all levels. For example, one of the goals is to provide a computer for every ten children in kindergarten, every five pupils in primary schools, every two students in preparatory schools.

• World teachers is working closely with the UAE Ministry of Education to help them recruit dedicated and inspiring teachers to be a part of their major education reform project.

The Montessori section is for children over 2½ years (in the September of the academic year in which they join). Montessori is a system of nursery, primary and secondary education devised by Dr Maria Montessori in the 1950s. She developed special teaching methods and equipment to maximise each child's physical and psychological potential at each stage of his/her development.In practice, this means that we divide our Montessori classrooms into six areas: Art, Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Culture (which includes geography, nature and science).

We give the children the freedom to choose from the different sections around the classroom; and we encourage them to complete their chosen activity, working at their own pace. Giving children the freedom of choice, movement, speech and opinion within a well-structured environment means they are eager to learn, becoming more independent and self-confident.

Our Montessori-qualified teachers work individually with each child, carefully charting his/her progress and recognising when he/she is ready to move on to the next stage.

What is Montessori?

Maria Montessori

Born in 1870, Maria Montessori battled against many of the prejudices of her time to become the first female doctor in Italy. Through her work as a physician, specialising in psychiatry and anthropology, she became interested in how children develop, and particularly their instinctive effort to learn about their environment through their hands.

In 1906, Maria Montessori set-up an infant school, Casa dei Bambini, for 3-7 year olds in the slum area of Rome. Through the use of special learning equipment and skillful guidance, Dr. Montessori was able to build the children's self-esteem, helping them to become motivated and self-disciplined individuals. News of the school's success soon spread helping to revolutionise the conventional teaching methods of the time. Her research into children's development and education has stood the test of time, with thousands of Montessori schools now operating throughout the world.

The Montessori approach uses a well-prepared environment, and a skilled teacher, to help each individual child to achieve their fullest (you had this word underlined) potential at their own unique pace.

Community life

A sense of community life is important in helping young children to develop social skills, self-esteem and care and respect for others. Although the Montessori method encourages a freedom of choice and movement, it also makes sure that this 'freedom' is set within limits, ensuring a respect for peers and for the classroom environment. The teacher guides each child towards activities which are suited to his/her level of development. He/she is then encouraged to complete the activity, working at his/her own pace. Children learn to take care of their specially-prepared classroom, helping to put materials back in their proper place. They also learn to respect each other's work space by either waiting for their turn, or by asking to share in an activity.

A unique aspect of a Montessori class is that children of mixed ages work together in the same space; the children in our Montessori classes range in age from 2½ to 4½ years old. This encourages children to learn from each other and gives them a wider choice of activities in the classroom. The older children learn patience and tolerance as they teach their younger peers a new piece of knowledge (and so reinforce and perfect their own understanding). Meanwhile, the younger children learn from an early age how to work alongside their peers and grow in self-confidence as they are inspired to try out new things. Dr. Montessori's research shows that putting children of mixed ages together creates a natural 'family' atmosphere, where children feel secure and learn important life-long skills of living and working together successfully.

Fulfilling each child's potential

Maria Montessori observed that children develop through a series of "sensitive periods", where they are particularly sensitive to certain aspects of the environment at that moment. It is during these sensitive periods, which may only last a short time, that children have the greatest ability to learn. For example, a 2½-year-old child may watch with interest as an older friend enjoys a counting game. Our teachers are trained to spot this 'readiness for learning' and would encourage the younger child to develop his/her interest by working with maths materials. With the classroom set out into six key areas of learning, the Montessori approach means that each child can develop their intellect and creative potential to the fullest, at any given moment in their development.

A specially-prepared classroom

Each of our Montessori classrooms is divided into six work areas:
* ART: developing creative skills through paints, books, play dough etc.
* PRACTICAL LIFE: using everyday materials to develop concentration; independence; and fine and gross motor skills.
* SENSORIAL: helping children to recognise and respond to changes in sound, smell, sight, touch and taste.
* LANGUAGE: introducing the phonic sounds and going on to develop reading and writing skills.
* MATHEMATICS: using attractive materials to introduce numbers and quantities, progressing on to simple operations of addition and subtraction.
* CULTURE: using puzzles, models, matching exercises and experiments to explore biology, geography, history and science.

The materials in all of these areas are designed to present concepts in their concrete form, helping children to learn by doing. For example, children learn the phonetic sounds of the alphabet by drawing them in the sand, so that they are not only learning through sight but also through touch. The idea that the path to intellectual development is linked through the hands is a major theme in Maria Montessori's method of teaching.

The skilled Montessori teacher

The different areas of the classroom are introduced to the children through group presentations and also on an individual basis. The freedom of choice within a safe and secure environment means that there is plenty of opportunity for the teacher to give one-on-one attention. Our Montessori teachers carefully chart the progress of each child, helping them to achieve their goals. They gently encourage children to move on to the next level once they have perfected a particular activity.

Similarly, if a child is struggling they will be able to suggest activities to build their confidence, preparing them for future tasks. For example, if a child is finding it difficult to hold a pencil, the teacher would guide them towards work with Practical Life equipment such as using tweezers to pick up objects; threading beads; using a medicine-dropper; modelling with play dough and cutting with scissors. They may also encourage work with materials like the knobbed cylinders in the Sensorial area, which require a three-finger 'pincer-grip'. Gradually, these activities will help to develop the small muscles in the child's hand, better preparing them for writing.

The Montessori birthday celebration

This ceremony is part of the Culture area of the Montessori curriculum. During circle time a cloth with a painted sun is rolled out on to the floor and the birthday child holds a small globe. The child walks slowly around the 'sun' (one time for each year of his/her life), while everybody sings the months of the year song ("January, February, March and April... It takes one whole year to go around the sun") as the teacher explains how the earth revolves around the sun. I could say Mama and Dada, I was able to walk, I could ride my bike, I could swim. This helps the children to start learning about the passing of time in a tangible way.

The Emirates College for Management & Information Technology (ECMIT) is an institution of higher education which was originally established and licensed by the UAE Ministry of Education in 1998 as Emirates Center for Management and Information Technology. In 2004, the center was renamed as Emirates College for Management and Information Technology, and a set of five mission-driven goals was developed which was to shape the future course of the college. In 2003, the college proposed to the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHESR) of the UAE its own 2-year AS degree programs in interdisciplinary sciences with majors in business and IT which were given initial accreditation in 2004.

ECMIT's first 5-Year Strategic Plan for 2006-2011 was developed in 2006. Termed as "Planning for Excellence at ECMIT", the plan identified seven strategies for development. The Plan served as a foundation upon which the entire planning, assessment, and evaluation cycles of the college were built over the years. In 2010, the college developed a 2-semester foundation program consisting of basic courses in English, Mathematics, IT, Arabic and Study Skills to prepare academically weak students who could not satisfy the admission criteria set by the MOHESR for higher studies in the UAE. The program was approved by the MOHESR in the same year.

In the academic year 2011-12, ECMIT developed its second strategic plan with a set of expanded strategies and objectives that included the launching of graduate and undergraduate programs, expansion of learning resources and re-composition of the faculty with terminal degree holders. In the same year, the institutional mission and goals were revised to align them with the revised strategies.

During the academic year 2012-13, the college successfully revised and upgraded all its associate degree programs, and significantly enhanced its library and IT resources. During the same period, the institution underwent a series of evaluations by the CAA that led to the full accreditation of all its associate academic programs and initial accreditation of the 124 credit BBA program.

The college has come a long way since its establishment in 1998. It has developed a western style administrative structure in which the college is led by a president with extensive experience in the North American higher education system and by a dean of academic affairs who possesses extensive expertise in higher education systems overseas. It has rebuilt its faculty with 90% terminal degree holders. Around 84% of its 17 faculty members now work full time. Consequently, enrollment witnessed significant growth from 137 (lowest) in the fall of 2012 to 263 in spring 2014.

The college's Academic Affairs is organized in five academic divisions: Foundation and Remedial, General Education and English Studies, Business, Information Technology and Continuing Education Divisions. These divisions are supported by a well-organized network of auxiliary units such as, Advising and Registration, Computer and IT Services, Library, Admissions and Marketing, and Student Affairs. The programs are delivered in English in a gender-unified environment that allows male and female students to study together. Furthermore, the college has established a well-functioning Institutional Planning and Effectiveness Unit which coordinates and supports ECMIT's efforts to ensure quality in all aspects of its operation. The unit conducts opinion and satisfaction surveys, collects, generates and analyzes information for institutional research and compliance.

Over a period of 15 years, the college has graduated over 20 classes totaling over 2000 students. Today these students occupy strategic positions in government, business, public and private sectors making significant contributions to the national economy. Over the years, ECMIT has followed the ideal of practical independent thinking by teaching students the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in life. Though they come from diverse backgrounds, students share a commitment to achieving their individual career aspirations. The college has nurtured this commitment in an academic environment responsive to the changing needs of the workplace and by providing strong career planning support and attention to the needs of each student. The constant emphasis at ECMIT has been to build a community network through its connections with potential employers and delivering a supportive environment in which students can achieve their goals.

Primary Education

Education continues to be a top priority in the United Arab Emirates, and the Abu Dhabi Education Council is continuing to make great strides. All levels including tertiary are free (including at a growing number of private institutions) and over 80% of secondary school leavers avail themselves of the opportunity. The 6 years at primary school are compulsory, and create the foundation for what is to follow.

Middle Education

The 3 years at preparatory school that follow are compulsory too. This marks the end of the mandatory schooling period - students are now free to study on, or find work. Many of the poorer outside the cities still unfortunately do, despite all the efforts.

Secondary Education

There are 2 kinds of secondary schools. Ordinary secondary schools teach academic subjects aimed at a secondary school leaving certificate (the qualification for university education) for 3 years. Technical secondary schools are more specific skill focused - following their 3 years most students leave with a technical secondary diploma.

Vocational Education

The United Arab Emirates is determined to replace its oil based-economy by becoming an industrial heartland. A national qualifications authority coordinates the efforts of a network of vocational skills training centers, to ensure quality outcomes, and the involvement or organized labor in assignment with national priorities.

Tertiary Education

The Emirates are exceptionally well endowed with tertiary education institutions, of which the leading state-sponsored ones are United Arab Emirates (UAE) University, Zayed University and Higher Colleges of Technology. There are a number of excellent vocational and technical centers too.

The UAE University partly illustrated here was established in 1977. Today is has over 15,000 students of which almost 80% are women, and offers more than 70 undergraduate degrees.
