India plans to open CBSE office in Dubai: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

Abu Dhabi: Union Minister for Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan has said India plans to open an office of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in Dubai. The Union Minister for Education on Wednesday met UAE's Minister of State (MoS) for Early Education and Chairperson Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) Sara Musallam in Abu Dhabi. Pradhan said discussions with Musallam centred around support required from the Indian side to further facilitate the 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. He said: "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 Union Education Minister said the IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus will be an example of India-UAE friendship. "Pleased to meet Sara Musallam, MoS for Early Education and Chairperson (Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge) ADEK, in Abu Dhabi today.
