In November 2018, during the UAE Government’s second Annual Meetings, Ministry of Education launched the Advanced Skills Strategy. The Advanced Skills Strategy is based on a forward-thinking approach and sets out the national framework aimed at consolidating the concept of life-long learning for citizens and residents of the UAE to achieve the goals of Centennial Plan 2071.
The strategy targets three categories of audience: students in schools and universities, the new higher education graduates and the experienced employees.
The strategy identifies four main categories for future skills: basic skills, competencies, personality traits and specialised skills to provide life-long learners and students with flexible skills applicable along different professions and sectors.
