Dubai introduces new student protection rules to address bullying, abuse, neglect and cyberbullying across private schools and educational institutions.
Dubai Introduces New Student Protection Framework
Dubai has introduced a new student protection framework for private educational institutions, including schools, early childhood centres and higher education institutions. The rules aim to protect learners from abuse, neglect, exploitation and cyberbullying.
New System to Handle Complaints
The new framework will introduce an automated system in the first quarter of 2027. It will help educational institutions report, manage and follow up on student protection concerns.
Schools Given Time to Follow New Rules
Educational institutions will receive a one-year grace period to meet certain requirements. However, cases involving children who need immediate protection must be addressed without delay.
The new framework will also include staff training and regular monitoring to improve student safety across Dubai's private education sector.
