Good question. It depends a lot on what you mean by “best” — academics, facilities, culture, public (government) vs private. If by “government school” you mean UAE public schools run under the Ministry of Education, here are a few very well-regarded ones, plus things to consider:


🇦🇪 Notable Government (Public) Schools in UAE

  1. Zayed Educational Complexes
    • This is a big new initiative: 11 “complexes” across different emirates. (WAM)
    • Designed with modern infrastructure, labs, sports, arts, etc. (WAM)
    • Seen as a flagship public education project. (ETEducation.com)
  2. Al Nahyaneia Model School
    • One of the older and more established public schools. (Wikipedia)
    • Offers a well-rounded education with core subjects + IT, art, etc. (Wikipedia)
  3. Zayed Al Awwal Secondary School (ZASS)
    • Located in Al Ain. (Wikipedia)
    • Public secondary school with a strong reputation. (Wikipedia)
  4. Rashid School for Boys
  5. Latifa School for Girls
    • A popular choice for girls in Dubai public school system. (Property Finder)

✅ Things to Keep in Mind

  • Curriculum: Public schools follow the UAE national curriculum. Arabic is the main language of instruction, and many subjects are taught in Arabic. (U.ae)
  • Eligibility / Fees:
    • For Emirati students, public schools are free. (Property Finder)
    • For expats, public schools do exist, but there may be conditions and fees. (Property Finder)
  • Streams: Some public schools have different academic streams: general, advanced, elite, vocational/professional. (Property Finder)
  • Gender Segregation: Many public schools are single-gender. (Expatica)

💡 My Recommendation

If you’re looking for the best public school for your child, here’s how to narrow it down:

  • Decide which emirate you want (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc.) — not all public schools are the same across emirates.
  • Think about whether you prefer a national curriculum (public school) vs international curriculum (private school).
  • Visit the schools or check their websites to see facilities — especially for the new Zayed Educational Complexes, since they are modern.
  • Check admission requirements — especially if you’re an expat.
