Administrative staff changed at 15% of Dubai private schools



DUBAI // Twenty-six private schools in Dubai changed their administrative staff during the last academic year.

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority announced that the schools –15.3 per cent of all private schools in the emirate – changed their staff to attain greater efficiency and continuity in their performance.

Mohammed Darwish, head of systems and permits at the authority, said it is working to build direct relationships with private schools in the emirate. School leaders are essential in this partnership given their pivotal role in the development of quality education, he said, according to Al Ittihad, the Arabic-language sister newspaper of The National.
