Private schools in Dubai will not undergo comprehensive inspections during the 2024-25 academic year according to new guidelines from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), the Dubai Media Office (DMO) said in a statement.
“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 statement said.
However, instead of full inspections, the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB) team will conduct “quality assurance visits that target specific focus areas to monitor schools’ progress on improvement plans during the next academic year.”
New Dubai private schools in their third year of operation will still complete full inspections
Despite this new directive, new schools in their third year of operation will still complete full inspections.
Schools wishing to undergo a full inspection next year can submit a request to the inspection team, subject to KHDA approval.
Full inspection reports and individual parent summary reports for the 2023-24 academic year are now available on the KHDA website and mobile app.
