The Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) is the official regulatory body overseeing private education in the Emirate of Sharjah. Established by Emiri Decree No. 45 of 2018, SPEA’s mandate includes licensing private schools, nurseries, training centers, and institutes within the emirate.
It ensures that private education institutions operate with quality and safety and in alignment with Sharjah’s educational vision. SPEA plays a key role in shaping Sharjah’s private education ecosystem. For schools and learning centers, being aligned with SPEA means access to regulatory clarity, quality monitoring, and trust from parents and investors.
According to its official site, SPEA “supervises and monitors private education in the emirate, ensures proper implementation of regulations and legislation, grants operating licenses, and evaluates the performance of institutions.
