On Wednesday, 14^th June, 2017, Focal Point’s Education Division held an event for Principals and senior leaders in Al Ain schools. A panel comprising of three of the city’s high-performing principals: Ms Dalia Kamel (Gulf International Private Academy), Ms Alaa Al Joburi (Future International Academy) and Mr Rocky Miller (GEMS Our Own English High School) and chaired by Ms Judith Finnemore, Managing Consultant of Focal Point Management Consultancy, answered questions on topics such as the importance of strong leadership in a school’s success, how to integrate UAE applications into the curriculum, particularly when most are foreign.

And how to balance the desires of parents for more traditional approaches against the needs of the Irtiqa’a Inspection Framework for more active, student-centered, research-based learning. There was an opportunity for the panelists to answer questions from the floor regarding the things that made each of their schools distinctive, and how they dealt with promoting reading.
