Gulf Model School Review
Everyone wants their child to be successful. We also believe that children must
be nurtured and cherished with utmost understanding and gentleness because
every child is a winner.
The very first step to creating a childhood for kids in which they learn, e njoy,
share, play, face, and fight their challenges with confidence as they transition
to teenage and then adult years is schooling. Great schooling can make your
kid’s future bright while mediocre schooling can negatively impact your kid’s
true potential to shine and become a successful person in life. Hence, it is
extremely important to choose the right educational platform for your kid.
Schools are where children are given the knowledge and taught skills that they
need to survive and excel in the 21st ce ntury and remain steady throughout
their lives while they also stay in touch with their heritage, values, and cultural
roots.
The school does not only prepare students for their future academic
endeavours but also transforms them to become good citizens in the future.
The responsibilities of a school also include making its students patriotic,
compassionate, and responsible individuals in the classroom and beyond the
four walls of it. So, if you choose the right school for your kid, you indirectly
ensure that your kid gets the education that ensures the attainment of his/her
full potential.
Keeping the parameters that you need to check when you are looking for the
right school for your kid, in mind, we have decided to do an in -depth review of
Gulf Model School Dubai to see whether it is a good school for your kid o r not.
Our team studied various aspects, including organization, planning,
communication skills, analytical skills, team -building, challenge-facing
abilities, teaching, student-teacher ratio, and infrastructure before making its
final decision about Gulf Model School. So without further ado let’s dive into
our Gulf Model School review:
Gulf Model School
The Gulf Model School came into being in 1979. As of 2017, the school catered
to more than 2,700 kids who were divided into 82 different classes. 12 students
were grouped in Kindergarten, 33 students were found in th e primary phase,
14 students were in Middle and 24 students were in the secondary phase. The
last time KHDA performed the school’s inspection, it was able to identify only
five different nationalities being represented in the student population; all of
them were subcontinent based. In addition, Gulf Model School Dubai has 86
teachers (both full-time and part-time).
Gulf Model School’s KHDA Inspection in
a Nutshell
Let’s see where the school stands:
Rating and Inspection Report
Gulf Model School underwent a detailed inspection by DSIB during 17 -20
October in 2016. The overall quality of education provided by the school was
rated Weak. It has been getting the same rating for eight years as of the 2019 -
2020 KHDA inspection. It is the only Indian curriculum following school in
Dubai with the lowest rating. Here is a summary of KHDA’s inspection report:
• The primary phase and Kindergarten (KG) progress and attainment are
quite weak in Science, Maths, and English. The level of attainment is
acceptable in Islamic education across all phases while Arabic
attainment is acceptable only in the primary phase.
• The social and personal development of students is good in Kindergarten
(KG), middle, and secondary phases. Student’s sense of social
responsibility, understanding of Islamic values, and concepts of other
world cultures are acceptable.
• Gulf model school’s teaching is weak in Kindergarten KG and primary
phase. Teachers don’t consider the way kids learn a nd assessment
across the school is pretty weak.
• Students do not have a lot of curriculum options. They can choose from
commerce and science that does not provide them with any chance to
engage in rich learning.
• Performing and creative arts subjects are at low priority at Gulf Model
School Dubai. There is insufficient emphasis on students’ problem
solving and enquiry skills in Kindergarten (KG). Moreover, the school
does not follow any systematic process to review and update its
curriculum.
• Students’ health and safety’s provision is acceptable. Some issues have
been recognized and taken to the school managers. There is weak
support for kids with disabilities and special education needs.
• School’s leadership is weak. Self-evaluation, governance, resources,
staffing, improvements, and management are also very weak. There are
insufficient teachers, technology, and resources for younger children.
• The school has an acceptable partnership with parents.
What About the Curriculum of the Gulf Model School?
Gulf Model School works according to the curriculum of The Indian Kerala
Board and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This leads to
individual examinations. The core subjects are Science, English, Arabic, and
Islamic Studies (for Muslims) as decided by the Ministry of Education, UAE.
What Do the Inspectors Say?
After getting the rating of Weak for years in a row, the school h as still failed
to improve its shortcomings even after Dubai’s education regulator, KHDA, has
asked the school to do so.
The inspectors have made many recommendations to improve the rating of Gulf
Model School and turn its negative image into a positive one. Here are the
recommendations that KHDA offered to the school:
• Those recommendations included improving learning and teaching so
that they could get rid of unsatisfactory lessons.
• Increase the awareness and knowledge of all staff members on safety
and health problems so that the school can follow a more proactive
approach to get rid of potential hazards.
• Work on the progress of students with disabilities and special
educational needs by identifying their needs in a better way to offer them
improved support.
• Improve the quality of middle and senior leadership, while concentrating
on the accurate evaluation of Gulf Model School’s current learning
outcomes.
• Work on their governance so that the school can also become capable
of meeting all statutory requirements.
• Get rid of overcrowding in the classrooms and arrange more resources
to deal with a larger student body.
Update on Gulf Model School Review
Ever since its last reports, the school’s progress and attainment have only
gone down in science in the middle and primary phases. The school hasn’t
made any sufficient progress to improve its weak rating.
Gulf Model School Fees
The fees at the school are quite affordable. The fees start at AED 3,563 and
go up to AED 6,478 for Grade 12.
Here is a detailed comparison of Gulf Model School, Buds Public School, and
The Indian Academy. All three schools are located in Muhaisnah, Dubai:
