All private schools across Dubai are now required to have an inclusion support team to support the principal in making the school fully inclusive, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has announced.
A guidebook has been released by the KHDA, which lists the requirements private schools have to follow to make their schools 100 per cent inclusive.
Inclusion support teams will include inclusion champion, the leader of provision for students of determination and representation from both support teachers and learning support assistants.
The measures are being introduced as part of Dubai's move to become a fully-inclusive city by 2020 and part of a new guide aimed at creating a system-wide change and helping build an inclusive system of education.
Schools are also being encouraged to move away from medical model of assessing any special needs and instead being asked to create life-defining experiences for students of determination and their families.
Fatma Belrehif, CEO of Dubai School Inspection Bureau at KHDA, said, "We are aware of the challenges and opportunities in our journey towards building a fully-inclusive education system. The launch of this new guide for schools is a reflection of our commitment to scale-up efforts and enable schools to create a welcoming environment for everyone. This will only be possible when the entire school community values diversity and believes in creating engaging, relevant and meaningful experiences for students of determination."
The guide covers new procedures for admission, assessment, identification, intervention, systematic support and resourcing for schools.
Be inclusive to get stronger
A school is a microcosm of the outside world for children. It's where they interact and learn about divergent views, make friends and get their lessons in tolerance, perseverance, patience and a whole lot of other virtues. If this environment is inclusive in nature, promoting and encouraging children of determination, it'll give equal opportunities to all and sensitise the able-bodied towards the needs of the determined ones. Setting foundations at an early stage will result in a stronger society tomorrow.
