AIYAL SCHOOLS TESTAMENT TO UAE’S COMMITMENT TO QUALITY EDUCATION: The UAE on Monday launched ‘Ajyal’ (Generations) Schools -- the first transformational project in the educational sector that will go hand in hand with the structural changes introduced recently to the nation’s educational system. The model will be applied to all students from grade one to grade four, in ten schools initially, under the supervision of Emirates Schools Establishment, and will later include 28 schools over a three-year time span. Ajyal Schools will be free, with a target to benefit 14,000 students in its initial phase. This pioneering new system will further enhance the process of offering long-term benefits to UAE students to better-equip them to meet the academic challenges of the future. Establishment of this new system yet again shows the UAE’s commitment to provide cutting-edge infrastructure and quality to future-proof its school education system.
