Special Initiatives in Mathematics and Science Education
The goal of the new approach (Abu Dhabi School Model) is to improve students’ learning experiences and to raise the academic outcomes of Abu Dhabi students to the internationally competitive level necessary to achieve the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Students are at the center of an active teaching and learning environment supported by schools, families, and the community. Key priorities are student health and safety, well-being, and individualized learning. Goals for improvement include developing strong Arabic and English literacy and numeracy, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity, while continuing to emphasize cultural and national identity among Abu Dhabi students.19
