The recordings of all lectures have made it easy for students to access them from anywhere especially when they are not able to attend class. It also has resulted in lower dropout rates.
Online Classes
The need for online education was understood during the pandemic time. The top International Schools in Dubai had already taken the advantage of this opportunity and helped millions of students by providing online classes thus personalising education and delivering quality education.
Free Resources
The free access to educational content or courses on the net is one of the most significant changes over the decade.

Syllabus
Going beyond the syllabus, experiential learning was a major focus especially project-based learning to test the student’s clarity on concepts taught. Students of Indian international school in Dubai were given the freedom to explore and understand the mechanisms of the concepts.
Mental health
This year mental health got its spotlight.
