DUBAI // All private schools in the emirate will now be inspected on a new, unified UAE school inspection framework.
Inspectors from The Dubai School Inspection Bureau at Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) will now focus on UAE National Agenda 2021.
It means the 169 private schools in the emirate, who cater to 255,000 pupils and follow 16 different curricula must aim to reach the goals laid out under the agenda.
This will involve taking part in international and external benchmarking tests other than PISA and TIMSS on an annual basis and using that data to improve curriculums.
The new framework has been with the Ministry for Education, Abu Dhabi Education Council, the KHDA and the Abu Dhabi Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training.
