Gulf Students Outshine their Indian Peers in School Examinations
Afshan Ahmed, KHALEEJ TIMES
DUBAI — Students in the Gulf have outperformed their Indian counterparts with a record of 93.23 pass percentage in the Grade XII examinations of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The CBSE announced the results for the Gulf region on Friday.
According to Indian media reports, the overall pass percentage in the region recorded a marginal increase of 0.63 per cent from last year. The overall pass percentage in India stands at 81 per cent with an increase of 0.09 per cent from last year.
Around 3,480 students from 40 schools appeared for their Grade XII examinations that commenced on March 2 from the UAE. Toppers in the country have recorded 96 per cent marks in Science, 95.6 per cent in Commerce and 91.4 per cent in Humanities.
“Students in the Gulf are getting much better. Schools here set high standards and benchmarks for students to achieve. There is always a conscious responsibility to drive performance with our teachers committing themselves to student enrichment,” said Dr Farooq Wasil, principal of Our Own English High School, Sharjah whose Cutee Bhalla became UAE topper in the Commerce stream.
“We have surpassed our previous results with girls emerging as top scorers,” said Ashok Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, Indian High School (IHS) Dubai. — afshan@khaleejtimes.com

An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 – Anil Pakale
An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 – Anil Pakale
My Motto(s) in life : My aim would be to help everyone around me, to stay calm, spread the message of brotherhood.
Remember, Mother Teresa. Treat everyone, be it rich or poor, at par.
When you do good, it brings in precious great feeling that is in fact pure happiness. When you do for yourself, it does bring in some happiness of fulfilment. However, it is far too less when it is done for others.
Respect every individual that comes across you and show that you care for his values and opinions. This will make them feel comfortable in interacting with us.
Environment comes next. We have to inculcate habits and practise what is best for the environment. We have to hand over the world to our kids in a better shape than it is today. There is a lot that needs to happen on that front. Each one of us must make cohesive efforts in that direction. There is no option. Or else, we will see survival war amongst human beings. It is possible to change the direction of the world. We must all play our part.
Now that I have achieved what I wanted for myself, I am now going to devote all my life for serving the community keeping in mind the above values and try to reach it to many whom I come in contact with my day to day life through my own simple possible ways and means. We are all guests in this material world and there is no reason why we should be getting into conflicts. We do not need much for living. Yet, we strive to get more and more. This must stop once for all. We must try to be content with what the almighty has given us and live a life that is full of Peace and Happiness. It is not difficult. I will be devoting all my time in spreading the message to all my friends. And when everyone who reads this, does the same to their friends, we will all be in for a beautiful world.
Good feelings will bring in great values in life free of any stress and nervousness. Health will automatically be at it’s best when we all are sound in our minds.

Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Jen Gerson, THE NATIONAL Last Updated: May 20. 2009
Education officials announced an online questionnaire yesterday allowing parents to comment on their children’s schools.
“This is the first step towards the instillation of the culture of transparency between the school, the home and Abu Dhabi Education Council,” said Mughair Khamees al Khabeeli, the general director of Adec, which is conducting the survey.
“The questionnaire covers all the aspects of the education paradigm in Abu Dhabi schools.”
The site asks parents whether the questionnaire should be offered permanently and what makes them satisfied with their school’s performance.
“Based on optional answers, the questionnaire covers such aspects as the school environment, curricula, administrative and teaching staff performance, communication between parents and schools, equipment and amenities,” Mr al Khabeeli said. The results of a similar survey were released this month.
Adec said 70 per cent of parents were satisfied with the schools. That survey queried almost 5,000 parents, who were asked to grade a variety of factors.
The results of a similar survey of Dubai parents were recently released by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
The questionnaire can be found at http://www.adec.ac.ae, according to the state news agency WAM.
http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090521/NATIONAL/705209803/1010
To participate in the survey, visit: http://www.adec.ac.ae/en/default/survey.html
Comments: The survey is very detailed and there are options to include the name of school and your own telephone number and email to get the result of this survey. It is therefore advisable to participate in this TQM opportunity provided by Abu Dhabi Education Council.
