The 17-member council comprises parents and community representatives from across the UAE.
Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Education has launched its first ministerial-level Parents Council in a move aimed at strengthening the role of families in shaping the country’s education system.
Comprising 17 members from across the Emirates, the council brings together a diverse mix of parents and prominent community figures, reflecting the broader fabric of society.
The body will be tasked with submitting recommendations to the ministry and coordinating with parent councils at both sector and school levels, serving as a formal bridge between families and education leadership.
The council is also designed to serve as a platform for dialogue, enabling parents to play a more direct role in shaping initiatives and strengthening trust between schools and the communities they serve.
By institutionalising this partnership, the ministry aims to ensure sustained collaboration and enhance the impact of joint efforts, reinforcing a model in which education is supported not only by policy but also by broad-based community participation.
The initiative is part of broader efforts to build a more integrated partnership between schools and households, positioning parents not just as stakeholders but as active contributors to educational outcomes and the ongoing transformation of the national system.
