Abstract: As one of the world's wealthiest and newest nations, the UAE is now striving to become a leading provider of quality education. There has been little research conducted on the UAE's education reform efforts. A number of studies have shown that countries face difficulties in aligning market-driven academic goals with dominant cultural paradigms. As a result of switching from historically lucrative petroleum industries, their academic success may require more improvements to sustain and develop their educational level. In this study, we conduct literature review research utilising concepts explored in comparative education to examine how the government is approaching reforms and suggest future research areas. This study provides some features that could help policymakers and the government enhance and achieve UAE education's vision.
