6/24/24, 9:53 AM 81% of Dubai students attend private schools rated 'good' or higher: KHDA

Private schools in Dubai have made great progress in reducing barriers to learning and

ensuring equitable access to education. Inclusive education has improved, with a
substantial 76 percent of schools now providing Good or higher rated provisions for

students of determination.

Wellbeing provision remains a strong focus, with 83 percent of schools offering wellbeing
provision rated Good or higher.

Fatma Belrehif, CEO of Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB), said, “Private schools

continue to achieve significant improvements in the quality of their overall performance,
which reflects the commitment of school leaders and teachers to ensure that high-quality

educational opportunities are available to our students.”

She added, “We are proud of the efforts of the education community in Dubai to enhance
the quality of education and its global competitiveness. We encourage parents to read the

reports and gain insights about the quality of education in their children’s schools. We are

committed to work with our education community to raise the quality of education in Dubai

and align with the future goals of Dubai.”

Inspections during 2024-25 academic year

Private schools in Dubai will not be subjected to full inspections during the 2024-25

academic year, with the exception of new schools that will complete their third year of
operation during the next academic year.

This decision aims to support the teaching and learning process for students and gives

schools the opportunity to implement changes to support their development and
improvement plans. The DSIB team will conduct quality assurance visits that target

specific focus areas to monitor schools’ progress on improvement plans during the next
academic year.

Schools that wish to undergo a full inspection may submit a request to the inspection

team, which will be subject to review and approval upon KHDA’s discretion.

Full inspection reports and individual parent summary reports for the 2023-24 academic

year are available on the KHDA website and mobile app.
