CAA accredits SEA’s diploma, master’s degree programmes in Arabic

Academic Excellence and Commitment to Quality

This milestone reflects SEA’s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and academic excellence in higher education. It reinforces the Academy’s status as one of the leading educational institutions nationally and regionally and affirms the quality of its educational mission and exceptional outcomes. Moreover, it serves as clear evidence of the Academy’s capacity to meet labor market demands and effectively address the key challenges that contribute to enhancing the educational process and bolstering national competencies.

Innovative State-Accredited Programmes

These three programmes are the Academy’s newest state-accredited offerings, following its first programme, the Postgraduate Diploma in Education, which was developed in collaboration with the University of Helsinki in Finland. This programme aims to enhance teachers’ scientific and creative thinking skills throughout the teaching process, within the curriculum, and in all areas of teaching and learning associated with school improvement.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Leadership programme, designed in collaboration with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, Canada, targets current educational leaders or those aspiring to reach leadership positions, such as school principals or assistant principals, as well as senior leadership roles in school management organisations or government educational systems. The programme aims to provide leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead school and educational system improvements, prepare them to assume leadership roles, and implement effective strategies for school improvement.

Graduates of the diploma programme have the option to continue their studies in the Master of Education in Educational Leadership, which integrates advanced research in leadership. Also designed with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, this programme enables school leaders to drive large-scale educational reforms within schools and educational systems. Applicants may complete the master’s degree over two academic years (four semesters) or one year (two semesters) if they already hold the diploma.

The "Master of Education in Educational Leadership" programme, also designed in collaboration with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, is distinguished by its integration of advanced research in educational leadership. This programme enables leaders in secondary schools and educational systems to motivate, manage, and evaluate large-scale educational improvement efforts within their schools or systems. Those wishing to enroll can apply to the programme for two academic years (four semesters) or just one academic year (two semesters) if they have already obtained the diploma.

SEA’s Master of Education in Teacher Leadership was developed in partnership with the University of Helsinki, Finland. It serves as a specialised one-year extension of the Postgraduate Diploma in Education. This programme is designed specifically for teachers who aim to take on middle-level leadership roles or improve their teaching practices. It integrates cutting-edge research in education, enabling participants to enhance their capacity for providing middle-level or informal leadership within their schools, implementing innovative teaching strategies, and fostering educational improvement at both the classroom and curriculum levels.

Notably, all SEA’s accredited programmes are offered in Arabic and English. Using a flexible learning model that combines face-to-face and online learning.
