Abu Dhabi: Several new measures were revealed yesterday to address the shortage of seats in Indian schools in Abu Dhabi.
The solutions include the opening of a new school next week, creating more seats in an existing school, permitting a kindergarten to operate from a villa for one more year and opening more non-profit schools.
"We are committed to ensuring that every child of school going age has access to affordable and high quality education," said Dr Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Director General of Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) during a round table discussion with the business community to encourage building non-profit schools.
An Indian businessman will open a non-profit school next week in the Western Region.
Dr B.R. Shetty, chairman of Abu Dhabi Indian School (Adis) and managing director and CEO of NMC Group in Abu Dhabi, told Gulf News that he will open the school in Madinat Zayed on April 11.
