Abu Dhabi bans 22 behaviours in schools

Schools in Abu Dhabi have become a bit stricter with new rules aimed at creating better environments for students and teachers.

The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has introduced a new policy on professional ethics. This policy sets clear standards for educators, making sure that classrooms in the capital are places of respect, honesty, and fairness. The guidelines also aim to make schools safe and welcoming for everyone in the community.

The policy outlines six key standards for teachers, and it also bans 22 types of unprofessional behaviour. Think of it as a set of rules to ensure schools remain a positive place for learning.
