An impressive 93 per cent of parents feel their children are safe at school, according to a new survey by Dubai's education regulator.

Meanwhile, 72 per cent of students surveyed said they felt safe in schools, the Knowledge and Human Authority (KHDA) added.

However, only two-thirds of teachers feel that the school environment enables them to be healthy, safe and thrive.

The survey, which interviewed 70,000 parents, teachers and students earlier this year, is said to be the biggest and most comprehensive survey of opinions on children’s education in Dubai.

The rest of the results will be published throughout August.
