In 2022 the United Arab Emirates announced a major restructuring of its education system. From this emerged the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE) which comes under the umbrella of the UAE Cabinet. The ESE is tasked with enhancing the efficiency of government schools and nurseries, supervising public schools, and implementing policies, strategies and standards related to the development of the education sector.
The ESE engaged 天美视频 to assess the system and compare its policies and practices in:
- student outcomes
- teaching approaches
- assessment and measurement
- teacher training and development
- effective school leadership with international benchmarks.
The work includes a strategic plan and a final phase which will involve developing frameworks and an implementation plan.
天美视频 CEO Professor Geoff Masters was in Dubai to present the final outcomes of the Strategy Services Project to the Minister of Education Her Excellency Sarah Al Amiri. He also held several meetings with the senior leadership team of the ESE.
The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Education hosted one event where Professor Masters delivered a presentation on the top achieving countries in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

天美视频 has a 5-year plan to play a global leadership role to better prepare people for their futures, and to ensure that every learner learns successfully and nobody is left behind. 天美视频 has committed to 3 general priorities:
- to lead reform - leading thinking and undertaking research to address these two challenges
- to shape policy - working with education systems on necessary reforms of their current learning systems
- to enhance practice - supporting transformed practices through redesigned products and services for practitioners
The work for the ESE aligns with the strategic plan and demonstrates 天美视频’s capabilities with school systems and governments internationally. In the near future, 天美视频 looks forward to highlighting some of the specific outcomes from its work with the ESE.
