As Dubai has grown over the last two
decades, the demand for private education has grown with it,
a reflection of the number of expatriates settling in the
city. Today, 88 percent of all students attend private
schools. The surge in demand over this period had in fact
been so significant that authorities, recognizing the need
to establish a specific governmental entity to oversee the
sector s expansion, moved to create the Knowledge and Human
Development Authority (KHDA) in 2007. Given the city-state s
unique context (in which a majority of the population are
expatriates, not Emiratis), the immediate challenge for this
new public institution was to identify an appropriate
approach for regulating a private education sector. The main
objective of the present review is to understand what has
motivated KHDA s policy initiatives, what principles have
guided design, how they were operationalized, and how they
function in real life situations today. In what follows, we
look first at the broader context of the issue by giving a
brief overview of: (i) the growth of private sector
education; and (ii) the rise of public governance reform
initiatives in the global education policy agenda. The
authors then turn to the case of Dubai: the authors present
the argument in the road not traveled before reviewing how
that policy framework was translated into its present
institutional configuration in Dubai through the development
of the institutions that came into being. The authors then
reflect on the policy framework in operation, showing how
the constituent components function together. The authors
end by suggesting some options on potential ways forward
that will further enhance the system. |
