The digital government confirmed that within a short period of time, the UAE was able to establish a distinguished and diversified system of university education, and the UAE University is considered one of the leading academic landmarks in university education in the country.

And she stated in a report that the UAE is among the first countries in the world that witness high rates of applications for admission to institutions of higher education, and in general, about 95% of female students, and 80% of male students, enroll in higher education institutions, after obtaining a high school certificate.

She pointed out that after the ministerial restructuring approved by the Council of Ministers in February 2016, what was previously known as the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research was merged with the Ministry of Education, and two state ministers were appointed.

According to this change, the Ministry of Education is supervising the general planning of higher education and scientific research in the UAE. The Ministry is also responsible for preparing draft laws for the establishment of federal institutions of higher education and scientific research, as well as licensing and accrediting private higher education institutions.

She pointed to the Academic Accreditation Commission in the UAE, which was established to prepare and implement quality standards on the basis of which private higher education institutions and scientific programs are evaluated for licensing and accreditation.

The accreditation system applied to universities in the country includes three axes: monitoring, evaluating study programs, and obtaining accreditation. The integration of the system requires that all of these axes be carried out with their operations on a regular and diligent basis, in order to ensure academic quality.

The Commission publishes a list of licensed scientific institutions and their approved programs.
