Dubai's private schools have been recognized as among the top 10 education systems worldwide in all assessed areas, according to the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2025 report. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, praised the schools' performance, attributing it to the dedication of teachers, students, and parents.

The UAE, as a whole, outperformed all other Arab nations in reading, science, and mathematics, and was one of only eight countries to improve from the previous assessment in 2022. Sheikh Hamdan expressed confidence in Dubai's schools, teachers, and students to continue building on these results and reaching new levels of excellence.

The emirate's private schools ranked sixth globally in reading, eighth in mathematics and science, and ninth in computational problem solving, outperforming the global average by 34 points. The UAE was the highest-ranked Arab country in the evaluation for these three subjects, with over 96% of students attending schools with digital device use guidelines.
