The United Arab Emirates will roll out artificial intelligence courses across all grade levels, from kindergarten to grade 12, in its public schools starting next academic year.
The initiative was approved by the government and announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai.
Education Minister Sarah Al-Amiri said the courses aim to equip students with essential AI knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to develop intelligent solutions for the future.
The UAE, a global oil exporter, is investing heavily in AI as part of its economic diversification strategy. It was the first country to establish a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence in 2017 and hosts the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, which collaborates with Microsoft and France’s École Polytechnique.
The Emirates recently announced investments of €30–50 billion in France, including an AI-focused campus, and continues to invest in AI projects in the United States through its MGX fund.
