Minister inspects schools in Al Ain

AL AIN — Minister of Education Dr Hanif Hassan visited Al Good School and Tawam School yesterday in order to check on the status of maintenance work under way in schools across the emirate of Al Ain.

During a meeting with local media persons at the Al Ain Educational Zone (AAEZ) premises, Dr Hassan stressed on completing maintenance work early to ensure that academic performance was not affected on account of such activity at Al Ain schools during the new academic year.

Dr Hassan, who was accompanied by Nabeel Al Dhaheri, the new AAEZ director, and the zone's top education officials, emphasised that the new policy of the Education Ministry focused on the student as the basis of the education process. "We will take every effort to help unburden students and to offer the best environment in which they can aspire to achieve and create."

The minister also appraised the AAEZ's efforts to develop the educational process and to usher in more promising students in the future. On expatriates students, he observed that 20 per cent of all enrolment in government schools would comprise expatriate students. "The fees paid by expatriate students to enter government schools will be spent for developing education systems and methods besides school performances," he added.
