Following on from the extraordinary and pioneering success of its Student Council in driving forward changes in Dubai education, the KHDA is now establishing new Councils for both Parents and Educators. The aim? To bring all parties together in shaping the future of education across schools. The move significantly strengthens the Government of Dubai's E33 strategy which aims to see Dubai top 10 in the world for education and learning by 2033. Read more on https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG here:

In a world where security of pretty much everything is in short supply, the weight of responsibility falling on the shoulders of schools, teachers and parents to protect each child's mental health is overwhelming. Step in wellbeing, the most powerful tool we can give our children to survive a world without clear career pathways; where truth is now defined by politicians; where Covid has changed the perceptions of a generation of students; where social media has turned students into experiments for an experiment that has gone wrong - and where AI is having impacts that are ripping up and rewriting rule books before we can blink. https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG speaks to school leaders and learns that such is the importance of wellbeing, it is now being built into the design of school buildings.

The https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG team today visited the beautiful and award-winning Safa British School. We learned of new subject options opening up for SBS students - including in politics, and amazing new Formula One projects in automotive engineering. Pictured is Eimear McKenna Singh (right), Head of Partnerships for https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG with the inspirational Brian Horwell (left), Principal of SBS. Mr Horwell told us: "This is a school filled to the brim with opportunities for students. From Formula 1, to the vast array of subjects and qualifications we offer, everything is here at SBS to meet the ambitions, talents and passions of every SBS student." And it matters: "From this comes all the child wellbeing and happiness that is so important to building a fantastic school for children - one in which the progress and achievements of every child are such a credit to them and our world class teaching faculty."

The KHDA, the Government of Dubai's official regulator of schools, is to restart school inspections - but with a major new twist. Inspections now will be near unannounced as the KHDA shifts to discovering schools that deliver for children every day of the week - and, as importantly, seeks to avoid the stresses on schools, teachers, principals, students and parents of planned inspections. We think the idea is absolute genius - let us know what you think... Full story on https://t.co/Q6WRLWyx79 here:

In an extraordinary https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG First Looks visit to one of the most talked about new school IB launches set to open in August 2026, we find a school siding with parents who have simply had enough of schools which park children in front of iPads instead of inspiring in children a love of reading and teaching life beyond the screen. It's a school too that is fiercely investing in Sport with meaningful transformation of the sorts of talking shop sporting timetables you find in too many other schools.

The private sector dates for the Eid Al-Adha holiday week have been officially now confirmed and private sector employees will not be afforded a 9-day week unless agreed with their employers. Public sector employees and schools have been afforded the full 9-days consecutive holiday dates because they have been granted Monday 25th May 2026 as a bridging day to complete the week.

Across the UAE, families today are asking the same question, whilst children look wistfully into the distance dreaming of long holidays. Will the private sector get a 9-day holiday for Eid-al-Adha like their public sector peers? We look at the issues and explain what we know today in each of the Emirates, including the special case, Sharjah. With the news that schools across the UAE now have the full 9-day break, and in the UAE Year of the Family, will we all have a happy ending? Read the full story on https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG here:

As we approach the Eid al-Adha holidays we look at how you can plan for what may well be a 9-day family holiday. We look at top days out across the UAE, including places to visit on a budget, as well as free days out with the children. One of our top recommendations is a visit to the beyond-beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi - prepare to be awe-struck! Full story on https://t.co/xZqioGYTyG here:

Breaking news: Families are now to wait until Sunday night before the MOE confirms whether UAE schools will remain closed to face-to-face learning.

Should UAE schools reopen on Monday? We are expecting the final decision very soon, but, with parents asking for our view, we look at the pros and cons of both options facing the government and regulators, and work through which we way we think, all things remaining as they are now, the decision will go. As is often the case, we are more cautious in our views, and probably tend more to the position that distance learning should be extended - but there are arguments on both sides. We would not want to be in the position of schools, government or regulators with this decision in flux, and, as is always the case, all of us must now have faith in regulators and government to make the right call for all of us in the educational community.

What is the status of Time Zone Cheating in 2026? Is this a risk to fairness, or are much bigger factors at play?

School closures are back. A period of disruption has again fallen across the UAE and the MOE, with other school regulators, has acted swiftly and decisively to close schools to protect school faculty, families and children. The move will see ALL schools close across the UAE, including nursery schools and Early Childhood Centres, initially for 3 days and subject to review on 8 May 2026. The MOE have made clear that at this stage an extension of school closures to face-to-face learning is on the table, but subject to review and confirmation either way. Distance Learning is now in effect. Live updating story on https://t.co/xZqioGZroe here:
