The department is also responsible for the implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing education outcomes for all students. His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, visited ADEK recently to review progress on the strategic initiatives and approve the implementation of innovative approaches to learning.

The department has launched a new initiative – the Charter Schools Project – aiming to establish a third education model in the emirate, through the exchange of expertise between the public and private sectors. This will help to optimise the resources available and improve learning outcomes for all students.
