The Ghobash Group has announced an exclusive partnership with HEI Schools (Helsinki International Schools), a distinguished Finnish Early Childhood Education model, to elevate early childhood education standards in the UAE. This strategic move aligns with the Group's commitment to sectors with high societal value, marking a significant step towards positively impacting the community and stakeholders.
Finland is renowned globally for its innovative approaches to Early Childhood Education, receiving numerous international accolades. HEI Schools, in collaboration with The University of Helsinki, ensures that its curriculum is continually enhanced by the latest educational research and practices.
Inkeri Aimonen, CEO of HEI Schools, highlighted the unique aspects of their research-based, child-centred methodology. This approach focuses on the holistic development of children, addressing their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth, as well as character development. The curriculum promotes curiosity and creativity, essential for future success.
Aimonen expressed enthusiasm about partnering with Ghobash Group to introduce this acclaimed Finnish education model to the UAE, aiming to cultivate successful global citizens. The curriculum's effectiveness is ensured through continuous training by Finnish mentors, maintaining high standards in the UAE.
The launch of HEI UAE Early Learning Centres aligns with the UAE’s “We the UAE” social empowerment model, which aims to unlock the potential of young learners through a value-driven and knowledge-enriching education system. Rashid Ghobash, Managing Director of Ghobash Group, emphasized that nurturing early skills and behaviours in children can significantly enhance the UAE’s human capital.
The Group plans to open multiple HEI Early Learning Centres in the UAE, reinforcing their commitment to advancing Early Childhood Education and contributing to the development of the nation's future leaders. This initiative promises to enrich the UAE’s educational landscape and positively impact broader society.
