National Education and Social Studies

Preamble

In line with UAE national priorities and the Dubai strategic plan 2021, schools in Dubai

are required to incorporate the Ministry of Education UAE social studies curriculum

standards into their curricula. The rationale for this is to provide students with in-depth

knowledge, skills and understanding in history, geography and civics, which

emphasise the links and relationships between diverse groups, people, science and

society. Students will contribute, as responsible citizens and residents of the UAE, to

the building of a cohesive society that is inclusive of all, while preserving the UAE

culture, heritage and traditions .

As stated in the DSIB School Inspection Supplement 2016-17, all schools are

expected to have formal planning documents and timetabled provision for the

teaching of UAE social studies.

The supplement provided a link to National Curriculum standards which is in Arabic.

To facilitate your preparation, we have facilitated a translation of the relevant Ministry

of Education standards for UAE National Education and social studies. Please note

that these standards may be updated in due course.
