Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan who is on a three-day visit to the UAE, has announced plans of setting up a CBSE office in Dubai. The announcement from the Union minister comes following his meeting with HE Sara Musallam, MoS for early education and chairperson of ADEK, in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. During the meeting, both the leaders stressed on expanding mutual cooperation in the field of education. Following the meeting, Dharmendra Pradhan announced the developments through a post on X (formerly Twitter). 

“Pleased to meet HE Sara Musallam, MoS for Early Education and Chairperson, ADEK, in Abu Dhabi today. Productive conversations on further expanding our cooperation in education and establishing education as one of the strongest pillars of our bilateral ties,” Dharmendra Pradhan said on X. 

“Expressed appreciation towards HE Sara Musallam and the Abu Dhabi leadership for their support to IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus. IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus will be an exemplar of India-UAE friendship. Our discussion also centred around support required from the Indian side to further facilitate progress of the IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus, ADEK’s support to CBSE-affiliated Indian schools functioning in the UAE and our plans to set up an office of CBSE in Dubai. UAE’s support to Indian schools has played a critical role in ensuring Indian children in the emirates remain connected to Indian curricula and roots. Both, HE Sara Musallam and I remain committed to take our cooperation in education to the next level,” the Union Education Minister said in another post. 

Earlier on Wednesday, Dharmendra Prdhan also met his UAE counterpart, the H.E.
