MoE launches Summer Abroad Programme
The Ministry of Education (MoE) has launched the 2025 Summer Abroad Programme, sending 270 top Grade 10 and 11 public school students to leading global universities and research institutions. The initiative supports MoE's vision to equip future generations with the knowledge and skills to contribute to national development, as well as to enrich students' academic journeys by enabling them to access prestigious institutions. Held in July and August, the programme offers students high-level global training and educational experiences to broaden their horizons, enhance their academic and personal skills and deepen their understanding of innovation in fields such as AI, leadership and entrepreneurship. It also helps them make informed career choices, build global knowledge networks and develop the long-term skills needed to excel in education and innovation. Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of Education, said, 'The Summer Abroad Programme offers students hands-on training at top international scientific institutes, fostering academic growth, personal development, and broader cultural and scientific perspectives.' The 2025 Summer Abroad Programme includes field visits and specialised training in six top innovation hubs – Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and Malaysia. Students are supported by 29 trained academic supervisors, with this year's edition of the programme also welcoming students of determination from Japan and South Korea. Recently, the Ministry announced the availability of school uniforms for public school students from kindergarten to Grade 12 in preparation for the 2025-2026 academic year. MoE has issued a comprehensive guide outlining uniform designs by grade and cycle, pricing, and the locations of 53 outlets approved to stock the uniforms. These include 48 LuLu Hypermarket branches across all emirates, along with selected schools in Al Sila'a (Al Dhafra), Al Wagan and Al Qua'a (Al Ain), and Dalma Island. The updated school uniform reflects the Ministry's renewed institutional vision. This change aligns with the new education sector structure, introduced in July 2024, and the public education sector's visual identity, launched this February. It underscores the Ministry's commitment to strengthening holistic personal development as a core pillar of an integrated education system in line with its ambition to align education in the UAE with global standards.

UAE's Ministry of Education unveils new academic calendar for public and private schools
With the approval of the Education, Human Development and Community Development Council, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced a new school calendar for public and private schools across the UAE, effective for academic year 2025-2026. The new school calendar sets unified dates for the start of the Academic Year, end of the three terms and end of term breaks. The calendar applies to all public and private schools nationwide. These updates aim to support family cohesion and provide a balanced learning environment in line with the goals of the "Year of Community." Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of Education, highlighted that the new school calendar marks a qualitative shift in managing the academic year, aligning with the Ministry's national approach to achieving the goals of the 'Year of Community' by creating a more balanced and socially connected educational system. Al Amiri added that the calendar now serves as a strategic national tool, reinforcing both educational quality and social cohesion. She also noted that consistent holiday dates will enable community, cultural and tourism entities to align their programmes with the academic schedule, strengthening the link between education and society. Implementation of the calendar begins on Aug.25, 2025, marking the start of the academic year 2025-2026. The first term will end with a four-week winter break from Dec.8, 2025 to Jan.4, 2026, with schools resuming on Jan.5 2026. This extended break offers students time to recharge after an intensive term and engage in national and community activities. The second term runs from Jan.5, 2026 through March 15, 2026, followed by a spring break from March 16 to 29, 2026. Schools resume on March 30, 2026, except for private schools in Sharjah, which return on March 23, 2026. The third term starts on March 30, 2026 and ends on July 3, 2026, except in Sharjah, where it ends on July 2, 2026. The schedule ensures a balanced academic year that supports learning and student well-being. The new calendar introduces mid-term breaks for public and private schools following the government's curriculum, offering regular short breaks to ease academic pressure. The first mid-term break runs from Oct.13 to 19, 2025, an early pause during the longest term. The second break falls between Feb.11 and 15, 2026, offering students a mid-term recharge. The third break is scheduled from May 25 to 31, 2026, aligning with the Eid Al Adha holiday. These short breaks aim to support students' well-being and strengthen family time throughout the academic year. The Ministry of Education has allowed private schools that do not follow the government's curriculum to schedule mid-term breaks in October and February, with each break not exceeding five consecutive days. These breaks must remain within the specified months and cannot be extended or shifted, ensuring alignment with the national calendar while accommodating schools' operational needs. The MoE stressed that all schools must follow the approved calendar, including holding final assessments or completing curriculum requirements in the last week of each term, to ensure students attend until the last school day. This excludes grades taking pre-scheduled international exams. It also emphasised that private schools following the government's curriculum must adhere to the centralised test calendar used in public schools. WAM
