▲Secondary School: Grade 10–12 – 15–17 years old
▲Recognizing a constant need for progress, the UAE has sought to implement and monitor high quality education standards by undertaking new policies, programs and initiatives. Throughout the Middle East, educational advancement is often impeded by insufficient focus on the English language, inadequate provision of technology as well as modern techniques of instruction and methodology.

In addition, the UAE government believes that a poor grasp of [[English language|English]] is one of the main [[employment]] barriers for UAE nationals; as a first remedial step, the [[Abu Dhabi Education Council]] has developed the New School Model, a critical-thinking oriented curriculum modeled on that of [[New South Wales]]. This program was unveiled in September, 2010. In February 2006, the [[List of Prime Ministers of the United Arab Emirates|prime minister]] directed the education minister to take initial steps toward improving the quality of education, including the provision of permanent classrooms, [[computer lab]]oratories, and modern facilities. In April 2007, however, in a major policy speech to the nation, the UAE vice president and prime minister stated that despite the steady increase in the education [[budget]] over the previous 20 years, [[teaching methods]] and curricula were obsolete, and the education system as a whole was weak. He demanded that the ministers of education and higher education work to find innovative and comprehensive solutions.<ref name="cp">[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/profiles/UAE.pdf United Arab Emirates country profile].
