ABU DHABI, May 21 / WAM / The Department of Education and Knowledge in Abu Dhabi continues its efforts to enhance the role of private schools in consolidating Emirati students’ understanding of national customs, traditions and values within the framework of inspection rounds for the national identity mark.
To date, 153 schools have been evaluated in several stages, during which 8 schools received an outstanding evaluation, while 33 schools received a good evaluation, and 79 schools received an acceptable evaluation.

Six schools that were evaluated during the first phase of the inspection rounds submitted a request for re-evaluation, provided that inspection visits will be completed to include 60 private schools by the end of the current academic year.
The national identity mark covers three main axes: the axis of cultural heritage, which includes elements of history, heritage, and the Arabic language; The values axis, including respect, empathy and global understanding; The citizenship axis, which focuses on belonging, volunteerism, and environmental preservation.
