The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is seeking evidence-based research and impactful programmes, methodologies, and advanced teaching practices in the field of early childhood education from all around the world, offering a US$50,000 cash prize to each of the four successful submissions.

The Khalifa International Award for Early Learning (KIAEL), which was founded by the late Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Khalifa Award for Education, aims to improve the standard of early childhood education in the UAE.

The Awarding Committee members will adjudicate the winners of the 2023 edition of KIAEL’s two categories for Best Research & Studies and Best Programmes and Teaching Practices. The deadline for applications is February 28, 2023, while the winners will be announced in June 2023. Applications need to be submitted through the online application system at https://el.khaward.ae/ before the deadline.

Fatma Ahmed Al Bastaki, cluster manager and member of the Emirates Schools Establishment & Awarding Committee, stated that the KIAEL “exemplifies the desire of late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, former UAE president, to encourage research and innovation in the early learning field by ensuring best practice implementation to guarantee the highest early childhood education quality.”

“Through this initiative, we also hope to raise awareness and focus attention on serving young children with disabilities in early childhood education,” she added.

“Our mission is to identify and reward the research on early childhood education and care that supports improvements in practice and exemplary programmes or teaching practices demonstrated to improve the quality and/or the learning and development of the young children served,” said Dr Barnett, founding co-director of the National Institute for Early Education and Board of Governors Professor of Education at Rutgers University.

Dr Barnett is one of the five Awarding Committee members of the KIAEL, together with Dr Nirmala Rao, a Chair Professor at the Faculty of Education at the University of Hong Kong and Serena H C Yang Professor in Early Childhood Development and Education, Fatma Ahmad Abdulla Al Bastaki, Cluster Manager, Emirates Schools Establishment, Ministry of Education, Dr Jana Fleming, Director, Early Childhood Development, Salama Bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation and Professor Iram Siraj, Professor of Child Development and Education, University of Oxford.

“All programmes submitted for consideration by the KIAEL awarding committee would have been subject to an evaluation of implementation or outcomes that provide evidence of implementation and potential or documented impacts on practice in early learning and on early learning outcomes,” said Professor Iram Siraj.
