Four public schools in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain have been reopened by Abu Dhabi Education Council after renovation.
The Maryam bint Omran School in Abu Dhabi and Al Zaydia, Al Himmah and Al Tafawwoq schools in Al Ain were refurbished to meet safety requirements. All are now accessible to students with special needs.
Classroom space has increased, and common areas have been introduced and equipped with state-of-the-art teaching and learning tools. New high-quality air-conditioning systems and energy-efficient lighting have also been installed.
“Schools are also supplied with necessary facilities and equipment in line with Adec’s plans for developing school environments in Abu Dhabi,” said Mohammed Salem Al Dhaheri, Adec’s executive director of school operations.
“Adec seeks to provide students with an attractive learning environment that allows them to improve their critical thinking and innovation skills.
“Schools are supplied with world-class facilities and the latest technologies in order to keep pace with our rapidly changing world.”
Significant modifications have also been made to each school’s clinic to meet the Health Authority Abu Dhabi’s requirements, and cafeterias have been refurbished to meet Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority requirements.
Office spaces, libraries, toilets and labs have been upgraded to meet international standards.
Students will return to their refurbished schools this term from temporary schools where they have been placed since the start of the school year.
