2/18/26, 12:51 PM UAE Council Discusses Regulating Children's Social Media Use
digital devices and applications effectively, alongside raising awareness among children

and caregivers and promoting safe and responsible use of digital platforms.

As part of the Council's meeting agenda, Sarah bint Yousif Al Amiri, Minister of

Education, presented the latest developments in public education, such as the

development and alignment of educational frameworks and policies that contribute to

the establishment of a clear national reference for school education. These also define

the profile of the learner in the UAE in a way that reflects national identity and aligns

with future requirements and leadership aspirations.

In addition, the Minister of Education emphasised the importance of strengthening

coherence across all components of the education system, including the national

curriculum, assessment and examination frameworks, and strategies for the

development, qualification, and empowerment of educational personnel.

She noted that such alignment ensures the integration of policies, plans, and initiatives

within a phased and interconnected framework, thereby enhancing the quality of

educational outcomes and ensuring alignment with societal needs and national

priorities.

She also presented the results of student standardised assessments, including Arabic

language evaluation outcomes, underscoring the importance of leveraging them as

diagnostic instruments to inform curriculum development and pedagogical strategies.

She emphasised that such data should enable early, evidence-based interventions to

address learning gaps and strengthen foundational skills, thereby contributing to the

sustained improvement of educational outcomes.

The meeting also addressed updates related to the development of Arabic language

and Islamic education curricula, in a manner that supports the strengthening of students'
foundational skills, reinforces national identity and Emirati values, and enhances

consistency of content and educational standards across various stages.
