Methodology
Under the KHDA and Dubai’s public and private schools, a smart electronic system is applied to standardise high school results across different curricula to ensure fairness while calculating grades. This system identifies Dubai’s top achievers across diverse curricula and is aligned with international best practices.
The system identified the top 50 male and female high school students for the academic year 2021-22, as of August 2022. These included 25 Emirati and 25 resident students from select curricula, including the UAE’s Ministry of Education, American (advanced level), International Baccalaureate, and British curricula. The cohort also includes graduates of Grade 12 and Year 13.
