36 violations requires the exclusion of education staff from Dubai Private Schools

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai has identified 36 violations that require the exclusion of educational leaders, directors, lecturers and teachers, when they committed for the first time within the special education institutions in the emirate.

She said that she expects educational institutions to implement policies and procedures for disciplining violating employees, in accordance with the approved policies, pointing to the need to review policies and update them periodically to ensure their compatibility with the UAE Labor Law and the application of the best modern practices, while ensuring their availability to all employees.

She stressed that, before proceeding with any disciplinary procedure, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient evidence to prove the occurrence of the violation.

The violations were classified within nine major categories, while exclusion decisions lead to the inclusion of the violator in the list of excluded, in a way that prevents him from granting approval to work in any other educational institution in Dubai.

The authority said through the technical guide to exclude educational cadres in Dubai, which was seen by «Emirates Today», that these procedures are applied to workers in private educational institutions subject to their organization, whether full or part -time, and includes various sectors under their supervision, including early childhood centers, schools, universities, training institutes, and vocational education institutions.

She explained that the nine classifications include “crimes against people”, and includes seven violations: trafficking in people (adults or minors), sexual crimes, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, or sexual deception, and physical assault, including threats against minors, domestic violence, harassment, pursuit, and killing.

As for “crimes against security, safety and public order”, it included six violations: state security crimes, illegal crime of weapons, electronic crimes (piracy, spreading illegal content), drug abuse or distribution or distribution of drugs, leadership or appearance in workplace under the influence of alcohol or drugs, inappropriate or aggressive behavior that involves threat in public places. “Crime against property and funds” includes six violations: fraud, financial crimes that affect school or society, theft, bribery or corruption, forgery or fabrication of documents, abuse of treatment, and deliberate vandalism of the property of the institution or public property. And “crimes against public or reputable morals” includes five violations: defamation or mug, contempt for religions, adultery, monitoring and registration of illegal or unauthorized clips (vocal or visual), and distributing materials considered a criminal crime in the state. The “violations of child protection and safety” included five violations, which were: establishing inappropriate relationships, overlooking or neglecting to protect or reported children, and not following the protection requirements shown in the guidance guide to protect the child in the educational institution, failure to protect children or adults who are weak from discrimination, assault, or other harm, and violating the basic standards of safety within or outside the institution.

The authority emphasized that “cases of unsuccessful and unsafe behavior” may lead to the exclusion of the employee, even if official criminal procedures are not taken, and include any behavior that is reflected in a dangerous way on the reputation of the institution or exposes students and the school community at risk, violating the criteria related to integrity, confidence or sedition, and the cases in which the educational institution fails to investigate or ignore it, which exposes others to danger.

The authority identified three violations of professional integrity and ethics, most notably forging academic certificates, qualifications or other fundamental information, providing misleading or exaggerated information in employment requests or interviews, and deliberately divulging secret or sensitive information.

She explained that there are five violations related to compliance and policies, which are “frequent use of technology to reach unauthorized or inappropriate materials”, “breach laws to protect data or privacy”, “refuse to comply with major policies (such as equality and non -discrimination)”, “teaching or discussing unauthorized in an unauthorized”, and “failure to maintain the confidentiality of institutional information.”

She stated that there are violations related to the standards of the workplace, including the use of prohibited materials or any materials that affect performance during working hours, and the continuous disregard for work standards, or delay and repeated absence.

The authority concluded the list of dangerous violations with two violations of property and assets, namely theft or destruction of the property of the institution, theft of intellectual property, the financial exploitation of a person or the embezzlement of funds.
