The Ministry of Education (MOE) UAE serves as the federal body overseeing education policy and national standards across the UAE, but licensing and regulation in some emirates like Dubai (KHDA) and Abu Dhabi (ADEK) are managed by local authorities in coordination with the MOE.
It develops national education policies, approves curricula, licenses institutions, and oversees teacher training to ensure every school meets the UAE’s high academic and operational standards.
Most federal and public institutions are directly licensed by the MOE, while private institutions in some emirates require approval from local education authorities such as KHDA or ADEK, aligned with MOE frameworks.
Holding an MOE license in the UAE shows compliance, credibility, and commitment to the country’s vision for a world-class, knowledge-based education system.
