UAE residents Yash and Sonam Bhayani redefining what it means to age with dignity and purpose
The Indian High School in Dubai has offered to provide 100 per cent free access to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) textbooks and learning resources in digital form at no additional cost to all our students for the entire duration of this term, said Indian High School group of schools' CEO Punit MK Vasu.
The term for Indian curriculum schools begins from end of March - June 2020.
In a letter to school parents, Vasu said, "This will provide significant financial relief as no costs will need to be incurred on the physical purchase of any CBSE textbooks for this entire term."
He added, "Our students will also benefit from a digital learning app developed by an international publisher and students will have complete free access to exciting digital content including activities, assessments, videos and so much more."
The school will take a decision on the physical purchase of text books and the continuation of digital text books in September, depending on the prevailing health situation, explained Vasu.
He urged parents not to purchase any physical text books from third-party vendors until further notice. "We are yet to confirm minor costs, if any, on e-text books for MoE related subjects such as Moral Education, Islamic Studies and Social Studies," he added, reiterating that the Indian High School is a not-for-profit school.
The school has also aided families directly hit by the crisis by providing "need-based admissions" to those in need.
