Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK)

The Irtiqaa Inspection Program was launched by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) as part of the government’s strategy to elevate the education system and maximise student potential. Irtiqaa provides comprehensive insights into the performance of private schools in Abu Dhabi, helping to guide improvements at both the school and policy levels. This is achieved through various measures, including annual inspections, detailed feedback on strengths and areas for development, and tailored improvement plans.

Conducted by trained and authorised inspectors from ADEK, Irtiqaa assesses schools against international standards to ensure they meet the desired quality criteria. Through this approach, Irtiqaa provides ADEK, the Abu Dhabi Government, and the public with a clear and accurate understanding of the quality of education in private schools across the Emirate.

British Schools Overseas (BSO)

The British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspection is a rigorous assessment process available to schools that are members of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). Designed to ensure that British international schools adhere to the highest educational standards, the BSO inspection provides a framework that mirrors the exacting criteria used by Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills in the UK. This alignment ensures that the quality of education delivered at British international schools overseas is consistent with the standards expected in England.

The BSO inspection process serves as a hallmark of quality and excellence for British curriculum schools around the globe. By undertaking this inspection every three years, schools demonstrate their commitment to maintaining and enhancing educational standards. This not only assures parents of the quality of education their children are receiving but also enhances the school's reputation as a credible institution of learning.
