Presentation of the seal of quality Excellent German School Abroad
February 17, 2021
On February 7, the German Consul General Holger Mahnicke presented our principal Michael Lummel with the renewed seal of approval Excellent German School Abroad.
During the last school year, the federal and state inspectorate inspected the DISD and the school achieved a positive rating for all 15 characteristics.
The chief of the KHDA Dr. Abdulla Al-Karam and the chairman of the association's board of directors Dr. Munier Al-Amoudi also attended the presentation of the certificate. The gentlemen took the opportunity for a short exchange about the impact of the pandemic on the schools in Dubai. Unfortunately, we had to forego a ceremonial setting.
Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has once again awarded the seal of approval to DISD after successfully passing the Bund-Länder-Inspektion (BLI) last year. German schools abroad are supported in their quality assurance and development by the Bund-Länder-Inspektion (BLI). The BLI takes a systematic and data-based look at the work of the schools abroad.
