CFO pushes ph schools in UAE

How-to Guide Protecting the Integrity of Philippine Schools in UAE

The Philippines has a significant presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with many schools offering high-quality education to Filipino students abroad. However, unregulated online schooling platforms have disrupted the operations of legitimate Philippine schools overseas (PSOs). In this guide, we will outline steps to help safeguard the integrity of these institutions.

Understanding the Issue

The Department of Education and Knowledge in Abu Dhabi has reported a surge in fly-by-night operations, which are unregulated online schooling platforms that often lack academic rigor. These platforms have disrupted the operations of legitimate PSOs, making it essential to take action to protect the integrity of these institutions.

Example Imagine being a student seeking quality education online. You come across an online platform claiming to offer a comprehensive curriculum, but upon further research, you discover that it lacks academic rigor and is not recognized by any legitimate educational authorities. This is exactly what's happening with many Filipino students abroad who are seeking quality education.

Important Tip When searching for online schools, thoroughly research the institution and verify accreditation from reputable bodies to ensure you're investing in a credible learning environment.

Enhancing Competitiveness

To safeguard the integrity of PSOs, we must enhance their competitiveness by

Providing teacher training and school improvement programs
Ensuring access to reliable educational materials and textbooks
Encouraging partnerships with local authorities and institutions

Example The Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) has partnered with the CFO to provide PSOs with access to teacher training and school improvement programs. This will help ensure that these schools are well-equipped to provide quality education.

Practical Tip* When seeking professional development opportunities, look for programs that align with your goals and interests.

By understanding the issue, enhancing competitiveness, and taking practical steps, we can protect the integrity of Philippine schools in UAE and provide Filipino students abroad with access to high-quality education.
