Our Projects

One of the criticisms which is often levelled at school leaders and system leaders is that strategy and policy developments are perceived as being “too corporate “. Quite rightly, the education industry regards itself as being different to the corporate world. The ambition for business is to make profit whereas in education our ambition is much more holistic - to teach young people the values and skills that they will need to thrive for the rest of their lives.

In the UAE, there are many Arab students who are being taught by teachers from other cultures. Moreover, many of these students are taught in schools that are based on different cultural systems (British, American, IB, etc.). Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) is a research-based approach to teaching that honors students’ cultures, languages, and experiences by incorporating them into the landscape of the school (Tanase, 2020).
