New guiding framework for Dubai private schools; sharing knowledge on 'wellbeing' in a childs institution

Parents, teachers, and students will now get a shared knowledge of what 'wellbeing' looks like in their child's institution and how it can be improved according to a new guiding framework for Dubai private schools. The framework will set standards and enable greater improvement of wellbeing provision over time, based on international research and policies and schools' existing wellbeing data.

The guiding framework includes specific focus areas on which schools will be evaluated, such as how well schools are leading a wellbeing culture; how well they are listening to the needs of their students and staff members; and how well they are creating policies and processes to improve student wellbeing.
