        "description": "The Ras Al Khaimah Prison Program has been recognized in a case study published by UNESCO\u2019s Institute for Lifelong Learning, positioning the program as a regional leader in prison education practices. The feature, which forms part of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s educational efforts as one of UNESCO\u2019s Global Network of Learning Cities, highlights the program\u2019s role in advancing inclusive education within correctional settings since its launch in 2011. Implemented by the Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Foundation for Policy Research in collaboration with the Ras Al Khaimah Correctional Facility, the program provides inmates and correctional officers with access to learning resources and activities that support their educational and psychosocial needs. Central to the initiative is a multipurpose prison library with more than 9,000 titles, alongside spaces for self\u2011reading and group activities, and a private room for psychological counselling and therapy sessions. The library also hosts a reading book club and periodic communal activities that support engagement and personal development. The program also provides educational courses for inmates on a vast range of topics including literacy in both Arabic and English, small business and office management skills, ICT, art, mental health first aid and life skills. The UNESCO feature places these initiatives within Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s wider shift toward rehabilitative, learning-centered correctional practices. \u201cIn Ras Al Khaimah, we believe every member of our community has the right to learn, grow, and improve themselves, regardless of their circumstances,\u201d said Dr. Natasha Ridge, Executive Director of the Al Qasimi Foundation. \u201cThe prison program creates learning opportunities that are practical, purposeful, and responsive to the realities people face during and after incarceration.\u201d Participation figures cited in the case study are drawn from data provided by the Foundation. According to the UNESCO feature, nearly 25% of the inmate population has accessed the prison library since its launch, with inmates and correctional officers adjusting their daily routines to use the space. The case study also notes that more than 1,000 inmates have participated in at least one educational course and references survey feedback reporting a renewed sense of hope and a clearer pathway to reintegration among participants. The feature also references the lasting impact on the rehabilitation and personal growth of inmates. Since joining UNESCO\u2019s Global Network of Learning Cities in 2022, Ras Al Khaimah has documented lifelong learning initiatives across formal, non\u2011formal, and informal settings, including correctional institutions. Within this framework, prison education is presented as part of the Emirate\u2019s broader commitment to inclusive education, human rights, and equitable access to learning, contributing to Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s broader vision of making high-quality learning opportunities available to all members of the community. The full UNESCO case study is available here."

We will continue to support our schools with clear guidance, robust evaluation and meaningful partnership, ensuring that excellence becomes the norm.\u201d Dr. Steven Reissig, Executive Director of RAKDOK, added: \u201cThe improvement of 10 private schools in Ras Al Khaimah is a significant achievement and a testament to the dedication of school leaders, staff and parents. It also reflects the Department\u2019s strong commitment to its mission of continuously enhancing the quality of education across the Emirate and supporting schools in delivering the best possible outcomes for every learner.\u201d There are currently 34 private schools in Ras Al Khaimah licensed and regulated by Ras Al Khaimah Department of Knowledge. In 2026, the Government of Ras Al Khaimah took the strategic decision to outsource all quality evaluations of private schools to the international company Etio Global, to ensure independent assessment. These evaluations are conducted using the unified UAE School Inspection Framework, ensuring alignment with national standards and consistency with inspection practices across all Emirates, and with very robust quality assurance systems in place. In line with the respective academic calendars, quality evaluations for 2026 are being conducted in Term 2 of each school\u2019s curriculum. During January and February 2026, 23 private schools offering the UK, US, IB, SABIS and UAE Ministry of Education curricula underwent their independent quality evaluations. Schools offering the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladesh curricula will receive their evaluations between September and November 2026. All private schools have received tremendous guidance and support from RAKDOK, whose strategic and focused approach continues to drive improvements in quality, regulatory compliance, participation and student outcomes. The Department\u2019s establishment as Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s dedicated educational authority has enabled sharper oversight, targeted support and a clear roadmap for sustainable growth. The positive outcomes of the 2026 quality evaluations underscore the success of the Government\u2019s strategic vision for education. The Emirate continues to experience growth in enrolments across private schools, alongside strong demand from reputable operators seeking to establish new schools in Ras Al Khaimah. Several strategic initiatives are under way to further strengthen the education ecosystem and position the Emirate as a leading educational hub in the region. In just over two years since its formation, RAKDOK has seen significant improvement in the quality of private schools as measured through independent quality evaluations. Today, Ras Al Khaimah now has 1 outstanding school, 2 Very Good and 10 Good schools. RAKDOK is the educational regulator for 34 private schools with more than 35,000 students. There are nine different curricula being offered to parents: UK, US, IB, UAE MoE, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SABIS and Philippines.
