Five new schools will open at the beginning of the 2nd trimester, which is due to start on January 8th 2012, the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) announced yesterday. The new schools are located in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Al Khatem, Al Towayya and Al Khazna.

The first two Cycle one (C1) mixed-gender schools embodying the 3rd model of future schools is due to open at the beginning of the academic school year 2012/2013 by the ADEC. One school is located in Khalifa City "A" and the other in Mohammed bin Zayed City.

Four new schools will start operations next week, namely: Mubarak bin Mohammed School (C1) with 45 classrooms accommodating 1200 students, Al Khatem Girls School (KG, C1, C2 and C3) with 28 classrooms accommodating 600 students, Al Jahili Girls School (C3) in Al Ain with 50 classrooms accommodating 1500 students and Al Towayya Girls School (C3) with 40 classrooms accommodating 1200 students.

ADEC will inaugurate Al Mabade School in the Al Khazna area in Al Ain during the next few weeks.

ADEC intends on promoting a student-cantered-learning approach across schools focusing on individual students or small groups rather than bigger groups, the Director General pointed out.

Construction of 100 new schools is scheduled during the next 10 years to meet the increasing needs across the Emirate. Following last year's project launching, 15 schools were inaugurated. At the beginning of the current school year five KGs and 21 schools were opened. Five schools will be inaugurated in January 2012 and two more schools are scheduled to open at the beginning of the coming school year. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
