School Inspection Readiness Check
A 10-minute self-assessment for UAE schools: private schools against the 17 indicators of the UAE School Inspection Framework used by ADEK, KHDA and SPEA, and government schools against the Ministry of Education's inspection guide, with an instant indicative report showing where your school is least ready.
Your answers stay in your own browser while you work. The SMO receives only your headline result unless you choose to share more, keeps it for no more than 90 days, and is happy to sign an NDA with your organisation first.
Inspection readiness is now a daily state, not an event.
24 hours' notice
Quality assurance visits return in 2026-27 with no more than 24 hours' notice, down from five working days. Your self-evaluation and evidence have to be ready on any day.
Your rating on the gate
Every private school now displays its Irtiqa'a rating at the entrance, and schools rated Acceptable or below face limits on growth until they improve.
One standard, three regulators
ADEK, KHDA and SPEA judge schools against the same six standards on different timetables. Groups need one view of every school, not three separate scrambles.
From inspection scramble to always ready.
The evidence for most indicators already exists. It is held by many people, in many places, and comes together only when an inspection is announced.
- Readiness Review. A senior SMO consultant tests your self-evaluation against the evidence and gives you a prioritised action plan.
- One home for the evidence. Each standard and indicator set up in one place, with evidence uploaded by the people who own it and signed off by leaders.
- PRiiSM for schools. Our performance management platform, built for UAE universities under the Ministry's Outcome-Based Framework, is being configured for the school inspection frameworks.
- Group view. Every school in a group against its own regulator's framework, side by side.
The SMO works across government, central banking and financial services, aerospace and industry, and education. The same approach to strategy and performance applies in every sector. See our case studies.

- The evidence, ownership and self-evaluation gaps behind your weakest indicators.
- A prioritised list of what to fix before your next inspection, and who should own it.
