56 Excellence in Schools

Regional Commitment to Inclusion Inclusive education is central to the UAE Vision 2030 commitment to create supportive and accessible learning environments for all students. The benefits extend beyond academics, building stronger connections between learners, families and schools while nurturing a sense of belonging and wellbeing that lasts far beyond the classroom. Students Inclusive classrooms empower every learner, including Students of Determination, to feel seen, supported and valued. When wellbeing and belonging guide daily practice, students gain confidence, celebrate their individuality and develop the skills to thrive in a diverse world. Families For families, inclusion brings reassurance and trust. Parents feel heard and understood not only by inclusion teams, but by the entire school community. Collaborative planning and open communication ensure that families are partners in their child’s growth and achievement. Schools Across the UAE, schools are shaping inclusive environments in sustainable and forward- thinking ways, supported by the expertise of IQM and the International Inclusive School Award journey. Through ongoing development and collaboration, schools are meeting diverse needs, promoting positive attitudes to inclusion and strengthening early support for families. By investing in their teachers and building confident leadership, schools are not only retaining top talent but securing long- term direction for inclusive education. These collective efforts reflect the UAE Vision 2030 goal of a quality education for every learner and a future where inclusion, belonging and wellbeing remain the heart of school life.
