Corrections
When a value on this site turns out to be wrong, we correct it and list the correction here: when it was made, what changed, for how many schools and where the right value came from.
Report an error
If something on a page is wrong, write to contact@orpitek.com with the page address and what it should say. We reply within 5 working days and, once we have checked it against the document it came from, correct it within 48 hours and add it to this list.

For schools
A school can ask us to correct its listing: write to contact@orpitek.com from the school's own address, name the page and attach the KHDA document or page that shows the right value. We change a value only when a document shows it; a new KHDA report updates the page by itself.
Corrections made
Corrections to the data, newest first
| Date | What changed | Schools | Checked against |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 schools that have closed or, news reports say, lost their licence are marked as closed and no longer appear on the map, in search results or in Compare; their pages stay, marked as closed. | 10 | School-review and news sites, named with their date on each school's page. | |
| 73 school names are shown as the school itself writes them, without the company wording KHDA registers (such as «L.L.C» or «Br of …») and with the campus named; the name registered with KHDA stays on each school's page. | 73 | The school's own website, its KHDA inspection reports and KHDA's school directory. | |
| Every school's website link was checked: 49 were replaced, correcting dead, misspelt or wrong-school links, adding links where KHDA now lists one, and removing links to sites that no longer exist. | 49 | KHDA's current school directory, KHDA inspection reports, and the school's own site, checked against its name, area or phone number. | |
| Every school's position on the map was checked; 32 schools that stood in the wrong place, some several kilometres away, were moved. | 32 | The school's own website and map, its Google Maps listing, KHDA's school directory, business directories and OpenStreetMap. | |
| 45 schools are listed under the place where they actually stand, with KHDA's area name shown beside it. | 45 | The school's address, checked against Dubai Municipality's community boundaries and maps. | |
| Area names follow the spelling families and maps use: Nad Al Sheba instead of KHDA's Nadd Al Shiba, Dubai Hills instead of Al Khail, and parts in figures (Al Barsha 1). | Place names | Dubai Municipality, Dubai Land Department, property portals and OpenStreetMap. | |
| A boys' school was shown as mixed because KHDA filed one report for its boys' and girls' schools; it now shows the gender from its own report. | 1 | The school's 2022–23 KHDA inspection report. |
