Abu Dhabi Project
CfBT Education Trust is a not-for-profit international
organisation with a mission to improve the quality of education
around the world, having been reaching out to children and
governments for over 40 years. CfBT's Abu Dhabi School
Improvement Project has been under way for 3 years, and is
widely considered to be a very successful Public/Private
partnership programme within the Abu Dhabi state school
transformation project.
Background of the project
Abu Dhabi provides a 'state' education to its citizenry
through a network of local schools. These schools have in the
past taught all subjects in Arabic, using a variety of teaching
methods. Through partnerships and initiatives, the Abu Dhabi
Education Council has invested significantly to change the
language of instruction to English and to adapt/improve
teaching methods of locally employed teachers. CfBT works
within the schools to advise and support the local teachers as
they implement the changes in curriculum and delivery, and work
to improve the quality of teaching and learning within these
schools.
