Dubai: In an attempt to provide quality education for all, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) recently began consultation with schools, parents, employers and representatives from higher education on the development of the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau, a new organisation formed to provide assessment of education in all Dubai schools.

Representatives from 230 schools, parents and others were consulted on the criteria to be used by school inspectors.

Dr Abdullah Al Karam, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director General of KHDA, said: "The School Inspection Bureau has been established to provide a comprehensive assessment of educational standards and performance for every school in Dubai.

"With accurate information on the quality of education available, parents can make informed choices based on transparent information on where to educate their children. Furthermore, by highlighting schools' strengths and weaknesses, schools can use their inspection reports to highlight and celebrate what they do well and use the inspectors' recommendations to change and improve further."
