Data sources and reuse

KHDA documents

Inspection reports, ratings and Fees Fact Sheets are published by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai. Every value taken from them names its document, page and check date. It links to that page here and, from it, to the original on the KHDA site. KHDA names and marks belong to KHDA.

Quotes

Answers and school pages quote short passages of Full Inspection Reports to show where a statement came from, always with the report, page and paragraph. Parent Reports are listed as a source but never quoted as evidence.

Other sources

KHDA school directory

It gives addresses, curricula and year groups in years without an inspection.

Calendar and rules

The school year calendar, required subjects and the recognition of certificates come from published documents of KHDA and the UAE Ministry of Education, named where they are used.

Schools' own websites

They give languages taught and activities, and only when the site states them.

The web

When a question needs it, the assistant also searches the web and shows the pages it used.

Map

The map is drawn from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, Open Database Licence).

Relief

Relief is shaded from the open Terrain Tiles on the AWS Open Data registry: SRTM and GMTED2010 data courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey, and ETOPO1 from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Reuse

Report pages

Every cited report page is shown on this site, kept out of search engines, so a quote can be checked where it stands. Each links to KHDA's original.

PDF files

We do not offer the PDF files themselves. Get them from the KHDA site.

KHDA figures

KHDA figures are Dubai Government open data, reused here with attribution to KHDA as Dubai's data policy asks (Executive Council Resolution No. 2 of 2017).

Quoting this site

You may quote figures and short passages from this site with a link to the page they came from. That page names the KHDA source to cite as well.

Our own work

Map data
