The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research announced a suite of digital tools designed to support Emirati students studying abroad during a media meeting jointly organised with the Education and Human Resources Council.

These tools aim to facilitate informed decision-making regarding university and programme choices, in alignment with a new policy adopted by the Council for Emirati students studying abroad.

There is a trend of some students enrolling in lower-ranked foreign institutions at their own expense even when such institutions are academically inferior to those in the UAE.
