Contribution
Networks which link schools and universities in the Middle East are relatively new. This chapter focuses on Zayed University, the newest United Arab Emirates' government institution established in 1998 for national females, and eight school-university networks. The focus of the networks is quality enhancement of all phases of education to pave the way for renewal, excellence, and creativity and incorporate modern knowledge and technology into Arab Societies. These networks focus on developing a 'shared culture' of teacher development and responding to challenges and issues such as language and communication, sensitivity to cultural expectations, and logistics between schools and universities.
