UAE Grade 11-12 Physical Education

The UAE Ministry of Education implemented a new Physical and Health Education Curriculum in January 2017. This curriculum is for all grades, from Kindergarten to Grade 12. It covers a wide range of physical health topics.

As of June 2023, the Ministry of Education offers an elective subject model for students in grades 11 and 12. Physical Education is among the compulsory subjects in this model, along with Arabic, Islamic Education, Social Studies/Moral Education, English, and Mathematics (General/Advanced).

Some private schools in the UAE, such as the American School of Dubai, follow curricula adapted from SHAPE America's National Standards. Other schools, like GEMS Westminster School - RAK, offer the Oxford AQA iAS Physics specification for AS (grade 11) physics students. Some schools also offer electives like Psychology.

While specific details about the Grade 11-12 Physical Education curriculum are not readily available, the available information suggests a focus on overall health and well-being, with a variety of activities and sports offered. The curriculum also incorporates elements of anatomy and physiology.
