Revealed: Top 10 schools in Dubai for 2019

Dubai - 18 schools improve in overall KHDA ratings.

In a move aimed at benefiting parents across Dubai's private schools, Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announced latest school inspection results ahead of time on Wednesday.
Dr Abdulla Al Karam, chairman of the Board of Directors and Director General of Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), noted the early announcement of school inspection results was aimed at giving parents more time to choose better quality schools.
Of the 176 private schools inspected by Dubai School Inspection Bureau (DSIB), a total of 18 schools improved their rating this year, with four schools moving from 'very good' to 'outstanding', five schools moving from 'good' to 'very good', six moving from 'acceptable' to 'good' and three from 'weak' to 'acceptable'.
"Our schools have consistently improved year-on-year and this is good news for parents because they now have a wider selection of better quality schools in Dubai. Ten years back, only 30 per cent of students received 'good' or better quality education and today this number has more than doubled to 70 per cent. It is important for us to keep pushing towards better quality education and keep up with Dubai's aspiration and future needs," Dr Abdulla said.
Making new mini-school reports available for quick information before deciding on new schools, parents can access individual school inspection results from the KHDA website. Each parent also receives individual feedback about their child's schools in e-mails sent to parents across Dubai's private schools.

Dr Abdulla, added, "Choosing a good school that fits the needs of a child is a big responsibility for parents and we want to make it easier. Good education drives the future of our nation and we want parents to realise the important role they play when it comes to selecting schools offering good education."
Fatma Belrehif, Chief of Dubai School Inspection Bureau (DSIB) said, "This year we have seen remarkable progress with 18 schools improving their overall rating. Schools with noticeable improvements have been able to consistently integrate inspection findings as part of their overall systematic school improvement plans."

She noted the number of schools offering 'good' or better quality education has increased from 38 schools in 2008 to 119 schools in the current academic year.
School inspections were introduced in Dubai in 2008 with an aim to provide a comprehensive view of the quality of education and contribute significantly to their improvement.
