There is a comprehensive network of government schools throughout the emirate, providing free primary and secondary education to UAE nationals.

The Ministry of Education runs 36 boys' schools, 34 girls' schools and 10 kindergartens. These work to an Arabic curriculum. There are also 65 private institutes and 13 evening schools for adults.

For expatriate families, there are 82 private foreign schools offering education of a high standard to the curriculum requirements of the UK, USA and a number of others including Italy, Japan, Iran, India and Pakistan. In neighbouring emirates there are French and German schools. English is usually the main language of instruction, but other languages are used as necessary by foreign schools.
