EdUAE - Issue 28 - Schools Out Issue 2026

Editors Foreword 3

T he end of the academic year always feels like a good time to pause and reflect. As always, the UAE hasn’t stood still for long. It’s been another year of ambition, innovation and change, with education continuing to move forward at an incredible pace. Over the past few months, we’ve seen plenty of headlines. The Year of the Family has reinforced the importance of keeping families at the heart of our communities. Schools have been preparing for the return of KHDA inspections with just 24 hours’ notice, while changes to examination schedules and recent regional events have once again shown the resilience and adaptability of our schools. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our education community continues to put children and families first. Our education landscape continues to flourish. New schools will open their doors this August, with many more already planned for 2027 and beyond. The UAE continues to raise the bar, offering families world- class educational opportunities while ensuring its culture, language, and national identity remain central to every child’s learning journey. One of my personal highlights this year was the launch of the Quantum Be and WellCube collaboration. Seeing so many schools commit to staff wellbeing was incredibly encouraging. Wellbeing is no longer an added extra; it’s becoming an essential part of building happy, healthy, and successful school communities. Before we know it, August will arrive, classrooms will fill once again and another exciting academic year will begin. Until then, I hope you enjoy a well-earned summer, whether you’re travelling, spending time with family or simply taking the opportunity to slow down. As always, Education UAE is built on the voices of our community. If the summer inspires you to share your experiences, ideas, or opinions on education, we’d love to hear from you.
