7 years on... Inspecting for school improvement: A collaborative journey

Students at the centre
DSIB’s inspections and the self-evaluation undertaken by each Dubai private school have been
centred on seven key questions that form the core of our inspection framework. These key
questions have all been underpinned by one main aim: that of improving outcomes for all
students. Students are, after all, the heart of the matter in all that we do at DSIB.

By reflecting on these key questions, DSIB and schools have endeavoured to determine the
extent to which students’ outcomes had improved from one year to the other. It has been
demanding process, however as the following pages will illustrate, it is leading to a number of
significant improvements in the quality of education and educational standards.
