“We are pleased to inform you that accreditation has been granted to the professional education unit at Zayed University”, wrote Deb Eldridge,

Senior Vice President, CAEP, in an email to Dr. Robin Dada, Dean of ZU College of Education, last Saturday.

Her Excellency Dr. Maitha Salem AlShamsi, Minister of State and President of Zayed University, praised the achievement of the College of Education and congratulated its Faculty members and students.

 “This accreditation reflects the strategic objectives recently declared by our university, which are adopting the foundation, pillars, and strategic directives of the Federal Government, aspiring to achieve the 2021 UAE Vision”, stated H.E Dr. AlShamsi.

She also indicated that the new achievement is a part of  a chain of accreditations that included the College of Technological Innovation and the Office of Student Affairs international last year, followed by the College of Business in June 2013.
