Education
Moves towards the development of a knowledge-based economy have begun in RAK as the emirate implements education reforms and student enrichment initiatives get under way. The Ministry of Education’s mid-range policy for the 2015-21 period targets knowledge integration in industries related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
