Dubai parents now have access to personalised guidance and expert support to help them make well-informed decisions about their children’s education, thanks to a new service launched by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).

The service provides one-on-one consultations with dedicated KHDA education experts, helping Emirati parents choose schools that match their family’s values, priorities, and practical considerations such as curriculum, location, fees, and the child’s learning needs.

The new service, called Girnas Educational Advisor, was announced during the first edition of the Education Expo series organised by KHDA, which opened on Saturday (November 8) and continues until Sunday (November 9). The two-day event brings together over 60 private schools and early childhood centres, showcasing Dubai’s diverse education offerings.

Helping parents make decisions

Nearly 400 Emirati parents attended the first day, exploring private school options from early childhood through secondary grades. They learned about admissions procedures, different curricula, and met school leaders and education experts.

“Our Education 33 Strategy aims to empower parents to play an active and meaningful role in their children’s education. By fostering a more connected and engaged learning community, we aim to ensure that every student is supported at each stage of their educational journey. This aligns with the vision of our wise leadership, who believe in people, empower the youth, invest in their potential, and continue to create an environment that inspires creativity, opportunity, and lifelong learning,” said Aisha Miran, Director General of KHDA.
