  <abstract>The UAE has long prioritized education within its development plans, with the aim of creating a diverse and competitive economy based on improvements in the efficiency and quality of educational output. This book examines the various challenges of educational advancement on which success over the coming decades depends. Such challenges include diversifying the student population, schools, and curricula; improving the quality of the school environment; overcoming the limitations of traditional methods of education; creating effective approaches to development, evaluation, and assessment; improving educational guidance for students; and achieving greater family involvement in the educational process in an attempt to promote high levels of educational attainment, self-confidence, and a sense of citizenship. By analyzing the present state and future challenges to education in the UAE, this book is essential for all those interested in the development of education in the Gulf, and the wider Middle East.</abstract>
