The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) unveiled its Policy Framework for Safeguarding and Learner Protection during a media briefing on Friday.
Dubai’s private education sector will introduce an automated system to manage safeguarding concerns in the first quarter of 2027, as part of a new framework designed to protect learners from abuse, neglect, exploitation and cyberbullying.
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announced the Policy Framework for Safeguarding and Learner Protection during a media briefing on Friday, November 13.
The framework establishes common protection standards for private early childhood centres, schools and higher education institutions across Dubai.
It also extends safeguarding responsibilities beyond school-age children to learners aged 18 and above, bringing higher education institutions within its scope.
