Overview and Introduction
The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, also known as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), was established on May 25, 1981, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The GCC comprises six countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
From early on in its inception, the GCC has launched meetings and committees to represent joint educational cooperation regarding education. From the 7th session of the Supreme Council in Muscat in December 1985 to the 24th session in Kuwait in December 2003, the GCC countries focused on formulating a comprehensive developmental plan through deliberations and resolutions.
