• His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
  Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the
  UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has launched a seven year
  UAE National Agenda leading to the UAE Vision
  2021.
• It was developed by over 300 officials from 90
  federal and local government entities.
• It includes a set of national indicators in the
  sectors of education, healthcare, economy, police
  and security, housing, infrastructure and
  government services.

The two main objectives of the Agenda

• UAE should reach in the list of top 15 countries
  in TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and
  Science Study)
• The UAE will be among the 20 highest performing
  countries in PISA (Program for International
  Student Assessment).

For helping the schools to obtain these
objectives, Dubai School Inspection Bureau (DSIB)
of KHDA has provided workshops to assist schools
to raise their standards.

What Schools Must Do to Meet This Goal?

• Schools must raise students performance, says
  KHDA.
• If they plan on meeting UAEs national agenda,
  private schools in Dubai must raise pupils
  performance level in mathematics and science.
• Director-General of KHDA, Dr Abdullah Al Karam
  said, We have been witnessing linear progress,
  what we need to meet this target is an
  exponential growth. It is no longer about making
  parents or students happy, it is about making
  parents or students happy, it is about putting
  Dubai on top.

How It Can Be Done?

• Student performance can be increased by giving
  more attention to individual students and by
  making learning interesting by using modern
  techniques.
• Teachers should focus to utilize the school hour
  maximum in a pleasing way. The students must be
  given the chance to do things as their own.
• Mathematical and scientific learning skills can
  be increased by constant practice and
  application. So the teaching must be focused on
  practical applications.

• The curriculum has to be modified according to
  the needs.
• It must provide time for using mathematical
  concepts, facts, procedures and reasoning, and to
  interpret and evaluate mathematical outcomes.
• While learning science, students should be able
  to describe, explain and predict phenomena based
  on scientific knowledge, interpret and
  communicate evidence and conclusions.
• To improve student performance, we can get help
  from modern technology.

School Apps

• Opting for a good school mobile app is the best
  way to improve student performance.
• Today, children are masters in using Smart phones
  and tablets.
• If we choose a perfect school mobile/tablet app
  for them, it will really benefit a lot for
  improvement. So, choose an app that is relevant,
  affordable, easy to use and motivating.
• It must provide entertainment along with
  learning. It should help them to think creative.

Early education is really important in this point
of view of development. Edsys has
introduced EYFS Managing software, which helps
early education providers to pave way for student
development. With the help of EYFS Managing
software, the teacher can understand the mental
development of the child They can also help the
parents to know about their childs growth. Smart
apps for preschoolers can also be used.
