National Qualifcations Authority discusses developing NOSS for child care with Arabian Child in the presence of Council for Professional Recognition, USA members.

In partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs, the British University in Dubai, and other renowned partners, Arabian Child is proud to bring high quality early childhood professional development training for teachers across the United Arab Emirates

Recently, there has been an overhaul in the early childhood within the Ministry of Social Affairs, UAE and a surge of media coverage of the importance of high quality education for children from birth to 4 years. There is also increasing awareness of the importance of professional development and high quality in order to help children reach potential and build capacities for cognitive and non-cognitive skills, identify at-risk children, instill cultural heritage, Arabic language, and increase school readiness. This paper presents current policy changes and steps that government is taking to adapt international best practice to local contexts. The paper presents the emerging role of childcare center leaders.
