The Ministry of Education has issued this guide to clarify the mandatory subject requirements for private kindergartens licensed in the United Arab Emirates. It outlines the subjects that all private KG students—regardless of the curriculum followed by the school—must study in compliance with national education policies.
The guide aims to align early childhood education in the private sector with national values, identity, and educational goals. It defines the scope of required subjects such as Arabic Language, Islamic Education (for Muslim students), and UAE Social Studies, along with grade-level expectations and implementation standards.
Key highlights:
Applicable to KG1 and KG2 students in all private schools
Clear subject definitions and weekly instructional time
Clarification of the Ministry’s role versus the private school’s responsibilities
A reference framework for educators and school leadership
This guide is essential for school administrators, curriculum coordinators, and regulatory teams working with early education programs.
