Upgrading the infrastructure of public schools in Dubai with an investment of Dh69 million to meet the target of educational excellence for 2021 is a well-timed move by the Ministry of Education. Ahead of the new academic year, which will begin on August 31, 28 public schools across the UAE are being given improved facilities, such as the installation of air conditioners, which will amount to Dh33 million. Besides this, 59 schools will receive upgrades worth Dh18 million.
With the bar being set very high for the field of education, the UAE is making sure it is creating a conducive environment for children in which to shape themselves as the leaders and thinkers of tomorrow. A school is not just a bricks-and-mortar unit to house children for a few hours. It’s the incubator that births the future of a country. The importance, therefore, of having the right facilities in schools to enable children to realise their potential cannot be overstated. Expanding the number of schools is also an important goal for the UAE. The 10 new schools to open this academic year will further enrich the country scholastic treasury.
