    How well are Indian schools performing?


    The Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau conducted 23 full inspections of Indian schools between September
    and October 2014. In addition, DSIB conducted a follow through inspection of 2 unsatisfactory Indian
    schools.
    During the 6th year of inspection of schools, 40% of Indian schools were either Good or Outstanding,
    and 60% of Indian schools remained Acceptable or less.

    Improvements and declines in overall performance

    1 school improved from Acceptable to Good

    1 school declined from Good to Acceptable


    Although one Indian school improved from Acceptable to Good and another declined from Good to
    Acceptable, the performance of Indian schools is static. The overall judgements are unchanged since
    2013, with exactly the same number of schools in each performance category.

    What is the performance of Indian schools in relation to the National


    Agenda targets?
    H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashids UAE National Agenda Targets aim for Dubai to be placed among
    the 20 highest performing countries in PISA, and amongst the 15 highest in TIMSS by 2021. The Indian
    schools have shown significant improvements in their students performance since 2007 and are moving
    closer to achieving the aspirational targets.
    However, despite the average score in Grade 8 TIMSS assessments almost reaching the UAE target, the
    students still have significant gaps to close to achieve the other targets.

    The most successful Indian schools


    are responding positively to the
    very challenging PISA and TIMSS
    performance targets set by KHDA in
    relation to Dubai and OECD averages.
    School leaders and governors are
    responding positively to the targets
    by ensuring that subject leaders have
    greater accountability for student
    performance, and developing shared
    ownership and commitment to
    meeting the targets.

    The weaker schools are failing


    to provide their students with
    opportunities that will ensure
    success in the forthcoming
    international assessments .
    Weaknesses found in the quality of
    teaching in English, mathematics
    and science, poor curriculum
    quality, and the limited capacity
    of leaders to make the necessary
    improvements are some of the
    inhibiting features.

    What is the quality of education provided for students with special


    educational needs?
    Of the 75,715 students in Indian schools,
    only 2,700 (3.6%) were identified as
    having a special educational need.
    This is a low percentage of students
    identified with special educational
    needs as compared to the 7.5% average
    taken from across 12 other international
    countries.

    Although no Indian schools were judged as having Outstanding SEN provision, 39% had Good
    provision but 17% of schools had Unsatisfactory provision.
    The most successful schools had highly skilled and professionally qualified specialist staff who held
    senior leadership positions. They were responsible for training and developing teachers, and ensuring
    that students received appropriate support.
    Effective teachers successfully adapted lesson plans to take account of students individual learning
    needs, and good quality support was often provided to help students during lessons.

    What is the quality of education provided in Early Years?


    During the 2014-2015 school inspections,
    there was an increased focus on the quality
    of Early Years provision and in the outcomes
    achieved by children.

    19.9%

    15,095
    Children

    There are 15,095 children (19.9%) educated in the Early


    Years phase of Indian schools in Dubai. This phase is often
    referred as the Kindergarten or Foundation Stage.
    Over the past 3 years of inspections, there has been an improvement in childrens attainment in English,
    mathematics and science in the Early Years phase of the Indian schools in Dubai.
    During inspection, the overall quality of the Early Years provision and improved outcomes for
    young children were found to be significantly influenced by three factors:

    Childrens personal
    responsibility

    Quality of teaching

    Design and quality


    of the curriculum.

    Early Years Teaching


    The most effective teachers adapted their teaching methods to track and assess individual childrens
    development rigorously. They planned a more holistic approach to childrens development through
    an integrated curriculum. As a result of the improvement in the quality of teaching and assessment,
    children in the Early Years achieved better outcomes than previously. DSIB judged 58% of Early Years
    teaching in Indian schools in Dubai to be Good or better.

    Early Years Curriculum


    The most successful Indian Curriculum schools had introduced and used other international Early Years
    curricula to enrich childrens learning experiences.
    They had invested significantly in improving the quality of the learning environment and provided
    resources for children that promoted learning and development through play.
    The quality of the Early Years curriculum in Indian schools in Dubai was judged as good or better in 63%
    of the schools.

    How do we consult with stakeholders?


    DSIB takes very seriously the views and opinions of a wide range of stakeholders when inspecting
    schools. Two important groups are parents and students, and in particular the parents of students with
    special educational needs.
    There has been an increased focus on the quality of educational experiences provided for students
    with special educational needs. The Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau, in response to the UAE National
    Agenda, is focused on ensuring that this key priority group receives a good standard of education.
    During the school inspection process, inspectors consider the views of key stakeholder groups in order to
    arrive at a final judgement and use their findings to assist them in evaluating the overall effectiveness
    of the school. Inspectors analyse all stakeholder responses to KHDA surveys and hold
    meetings with members of the school community.
    Inspectors meet with groups of students, particularly those with special educational
    needs, and with parents to seek their opinions and views about the quality of education
    provided by school and their experiences of the school.

    What is new in school inspection reports?


    DSIB has improved the format of its school inspection reports which include the following:

    showing a picture of the school.

    A new display showing the overall


    inspection judgement of the school
    each year since it opened.

    A written report using bullet points,


    to make it easier to read and
    understand.

    A Parent Report which summarises


    the schools judgements and
    highlights key strengths and areas
    for improvement.

    A section of the report which reflects


    how well the school provides for
    students with special educational
    needs.
