EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Early childhood education market in UAE is estimated to be AEDX.XX billion

(US$X.XX billion) at the end of 2016. While X.XX% of the early childhood

education market in the UAE is controlled by kindergarten education,

nursery education accounts for the remaining X.XX%. Government

nurseries and kindergartens account for X.XX% of market, while private

nurseries and kindergartens account for the remaining X.XX%.

Further, X.XX% of the all the students enrolled in early childhood education

in UAE are males, while the remaining X.XX% of the enrollment consists of

females. Also, X.XX% of all the enrolled students are UAE nationals, while

X.XX% are non-nationals.

Early childhood education in UAE is forecasted to grow at a compound

annual growth rate (CAGR) of X.XX%, and reach AEDX.XX billion (US$X.XX

billion) by the end of 2021. The growth will be driven by various factors

such as increase in population, income levels, government support, and

use of technology. It will be further accentuated by more demand for

private early childhood education, especially by expatriates — and an

increase in supply by private early childhood education providers.



RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This report has been prepared through the following comprehensive

methodology:

Market size of early childhood education has been defined as the

aggregate spend on nursery and kindergarten education, in both

government as well as private sectors. The market size is calculated as a

product of enrollment in early childhood education, and the ticket size.

The enrollment was segregated on the basis of various factors, such as

levels of education, enrollment in government and private sectors,

nationals and non-nationals, and percentage of children enrolled in

nurseries. It was then multiplied by ticket sizes of appropriate levels.

Bases of all the figures and future estimates are taken from the statistics

provided by the online learning companies, government, ministries, as well

as prominent organizations such as the World Bank, International

Monetary Funds, UNESCO Institute of Statistics, World Factbook — CIA etc.

The data is further validated through credible analyst reports, white

papers by industry organizations, questioners and expert interviews.

REPORT SAMPLE

EDUCATION SYSTEM IN UAE

Education is one of the major sectors in UAE, which is expected to attract

21% of the government’s budget in 2017. While the school education is

governed by the Ministry of Education, Postsecondary or higher education

comes under the purview of Ministry of Higher Education.

The government provides free education in public schools and higher

education institutions to UAE nationals or children of Emirati mothers.

Expatriate students in UAE can also attend the public schools, but for a fee.

The medium of instruction in public schools is Arabic, with English being

offered as a second language.

School education sector in UAE is divided into four stages, spanning across

14 years of education. The first stage consists of early childhood or

kindergarten education that starts at four years of age, and lasts two years.

Kindergarten education is free and voluntary. Prior to kindergarten, some

parents also enroll their children to nurseries or crèches, which take

children of up to 4 years.

The core K–12 schooling starts after kindergarten, and is spread across 12

grades, divided into three cycles. Cycle 1, or the elementary stage, spans

across grade 1 to 5, and is aimed at providing basic elementary education

to children.



Cycle 2 caters to children in the grades 6 to 9, with a minimum age of 10.

Cycle 2 is followed by Cycle 3, or secondary education stage. This cycle also

consists of three grades, from grades 10 to 12. The cycle contains

specialization courses in Grade 10 such as Islamic Education, Arabic,

English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, History,

Geography and ICT — where students choose their specialization. Post

Grate 10, students can either opt for Science Stream, or Literature Stream

in Grades 11 and 12. On completion of Cycle 3, students are awarded

school leaving certificates, also known as Shahadat Al-Thanawiya Al-

Amma.

During Cycle 3, students also have an option to take vocational education

and training. There are eight secondary technical schools in UAE, which

offer vocational education and training programs in grades 10 to 12. The

schools provide courses in various subjects, such as mechanical, electrical,

and civil industrial technology, agriculture, business management,

computer applications and accounting.

Besides the government schools, there are other private schools in the

country, which provide education as per international curricula. These

schools do not come under the ministry, and charge fees.



After completing secondary education, students apply for admission to a

postsecondary or higher education institution. Higher education is

governed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and

citizens of UAE, or children of Emirati mothers are entitled for free

education at the government institutions. Besides, they can also join

private institutions, having accreditation to international universities.

The undergraduate degree programs are generally of four years, followed

by master’s degree of two years and doctoral degree of three years. There

are also some undergraduate diploma certificates and courses of one to

two years, which students can pursue after secondary education.

Students can also take vocational education courses after completing

secondary education. An Applied Bachelor degree in vocational education

is of four years, while a diploma is of two years. Only UAE citizens and

children of Emirati mothers can study in government–sponsored Federal

higher education institutions — only exception being United Arab Emirates

University (UAEU) and Zayed University (ZU). In order to take admission in

the federal higher education institutions, all the students are required to

take a test, called Common Educational Proficiency Assessment (CEPA) —

which evaluates their competency in English and Mathematics. For

expatriate students, there are several private higher education

institutions.



The Ministry of Education, under the Federal Law No. 29/2006, provides

state–sponsored education to children with special needs. Based on their

needs, students are either taught in regular classrooms, with assistance

from teachers and community providers, or in specialized class room or

their homes. All the schools are also required to provide assistance to

students, in form of special education teachers, psychologists and other

learning aids.

The ministry also provides adult and continuing education to people, who

have not completed their basic education, and have crossed the age–limit

of enrolling in schools. Adult education is provided, both in form of normal

basic education, as well as vocational education and training.
