NEW DELHI: Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan has announced plans to establish an office of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in Dubai. The minister met HE Sara Musallam, MoS for early education and chairperson of ADEK, in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Appreciating the minister and the Abu Dhabi leadership for setting up IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus, Pradhan said that the campus will be an example of Indian-UAE friendship.
“Our discussion also centred around support required from the Indian side to further facilitate progress of the IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus, ADEK’s support to CBSE-affiliated Indian schools functioning in the UAE and our plans to set up an office of CBSE in Dubai,” Pradhan said, adding that the UAE’s support to Indian schools has played a critical role in ensuring “Indian children in the Emirates remain connected to Indian curricula and roots”.
The ministers also took a tour of the interim campus of IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi situated at Zayed University.
The minister said, “It is a testament of the common vision and priorities of the leadership of both our countries. Happy with the progress. The IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus marks a significant stride in our efforts to internationalise India’s education. It will open up a plethora of opportunities for leveraging the power of knowledge for mutual prosperity and global well-being.”
Speaking to Careers360 , the IIT Delhi director Rangan Banerjee said that the Abu Dhabi campus is set to open in the academic year 2024. He said that the admission is likely to be based on the JEE Main score. However, the JEE board has not yet approved the proposal.
