The development of education in the UAE began effectively in 1962. The number of schools was 20, attended by less than 4000 students, mostly males. There was no infrastructure of basic social services, such as hospitals, housing, airports and there was a shortfall in manpower.
History of Education in the UAE
The history of education in the UAE. In the first period humans developed themselves through self-education; at that time there were few teachers and some students with simple tools and basic information. Also teachers didn't have enough knowledge, so the development of education was slow in the UAE from the traditional pattern of the simple to the other form of education based on lessons and courses and systems. All teachers were from the UAE at that time because the UAE didn't deal with any Western country.
The first step of development was in the 1900s, when three major schools were established by pearl merchants in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The schools were staffed by foreign teachers who taught reading, writing, and Islamic studies. They began to teach students some basic English; after that they improved to some grammar and spelling; after two years of process they added some subjects such as, history, mathematics and various religions. On the other side, the local teachers tried to teach students some Islamic subjects like al-Faqih and how to know the words in the Quran.

Provision of quality education in the United Arab Emirates : the first university was in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates University. Since then, the country has progressed with high literacy rates, modern programs and women’s share in education. Today we have several universities in the UAE.
Women and Education:
Emirati women have greatly benefited from education; and women have shown the UAE's ability to assume responsibility; Emirati women have several leadership positions in the State at various levels. They works with men in all government and private companies, and actually they have two jobs, work and home.
To sum up, I want to say that the education in the UAE is improving every day.
