Arabic Course for Educators

The UAE education landscape is experiencing a significant shift towards stronger Arabic integration across schools and early childhood settings. From the 2025–26 academic year, all UAE private schools — including British, American, IB, Indian, French, and other international curricula — are required to provide 40 minutes of Arabic instruction daily in the early years, increasing to 60 minutes per day from 2027–28.

Additionally, KHDA Administrative Resolution No. 48 of 2025 makes Arabic learning compulsory across Dubai private schools and early childhood centres for children from birth to six years. These reforms, along with the UAE’s focus on cultural identity and Arabic language development, are increasing the demand for educators who can confidently communicate in Arabic within professional school environments.

Arabic Course for Educators is a KHDA-approved Arabic training programme designed specifically for non-Arabic-speaking educators working in or preparing to work in UAE schools. The programme moves beyond traditional language learning by focusing on practical communication needed throughout the school day.

Every level is built around authentic educational situations rather than textbook Arabic, helping participants develop confidence in classroom communication, parent interactions, professional discussions, safeguarding conversations, and school operations.
