How are UAE schools preparing for the country’s proposed Arabic Language Law by 2027, and what could change for students?

Educators across the UAE say schools are moving away from treating Arabic as just another classroom subject and are instead integrating it more deeply into everyday learning through technology, interactive teaching methods, AI-supported tools, and cross-curricular activities, with institutions such as GEMS Education and Ambassador School Dubai focusing on making Arabic more engaging for both native and non-native speakers—while experts believe the reforms will place greater emphasis on teacher training, personalised learning, cultural identity, and multilingual education so students remain globally competitive while strengthening their connection to the UAE’s language and heritage.
