The rising focus on privatization in the education sector is notably driving market growth. The private sector participation in the schools and universities of the UAE is one of the key reasons for the continuous upliftment of the education sector in the country. The increasing awareness of parents regarding the essential skills needed for the overall development of their child is expected to encourage the proliferation of private schools and colleges in the UAE. The rising expatriate population and its expectation of providing high-quality education to their children, that meets international standards, are the key factors for the surging rise of privatization in the education sector which in turn strengthens the UAE - education market growth. Hence, the significant contribution of private educational institutions is likely to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

United Arab Emirates Education Market: Key Trends and Challenges

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Trends

Rising awareness of early education is an emerging trend shaping the market growth.  Early education plays an important role in children's development. The growth of early education in the UAE has also increased due to the increasing awareness among parents regarding the criticality and importance of the first three years of childhood education. Conventionally, families in the UAE are following the approach of homeschooling for children. However, with the increasing number of working women and dual-income households in the country, the demand for kindergartens and pre-primary schools has increased exponentially during the last few years. Pre-primary education was not popular in conventional Arab culture. 

Moreover, the demand for a professional learning environment for the children of working mothers bodes well for the children, as well as for the societal and economic development of the UAE educational institutions such as Emirates British Nursery offer Minibeasts as a part of its early years' foundation-stage curriculum designed for children aged three years and above, which helps children develop their curiosity, knowledge, and imagination. Such factors are further likely to strengthen the growth of the UAE education market during the forecast period.

Challenge

The rising interest of students in education abroad is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The substantial costs of education, particularly in the higher education segment in the UAE, are one of the key factors leading to many students flying abroad to explore advanced global skills and opportunities. This, in turn, is expected to hamper United Arab Emirates - education market growth in the long run. Besides, government provisions of scholarships to students willing to study abroad and with the best possible living conditions have encouraged the students to move abroad and take admissions to reputed foreign universities offering courses at comparatively lesser fees. The rising inclination of students to study abroad is also due to the exposure and plethora of learning opportunities they get once they move out. 

Further, the Shorik initiative, started by the Ministry of Higher Education, with a team of 20 mentors as a key part of the pilot scheme, helps high-school graduates to choose their colleges and discipline and be aware of the several situations experienced by people when studying abroad. In this way, such supporting initiatives are likely to foster the growth of students studying abroad and have a negative impact on United Arab Emirates - education market growth. Therefore such factors are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
