Dubai acts as a regional gateway, re-exporting goods from around the world to large neighboring markets. It has established itself as a major business and financial link between East and West due to liberal commercial regulations and government business support. Dubai has also quickly established itself as a leading family destination and aims to be the world's leading family destination for the UK and Ireland by 2012. The Dubai Education Council was established in 2005 to develop Dubai's education sector, with public schools using Arabic as the primary language and private schools primarily using English. Dubai continues developing enormously and projecting itself to become a global city despite advances in areas such as technology, architecture, politics, economics, and society.
