Another 1,000 pre-KG seats has been added in Abu Dhabi for the academic year 2024-25, the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) announced on Friday.
These seats are available across 12 private schools in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra, as part of ADEK’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the educational foundation for Abu Dhabi’s youngest learners.
ADEK engaged with various investors and stakeholders and empowered private schools rated “Good” and above in the latest Irtiqaa ratings to expand their pre-KG sections within their established schools. Clear guidelines and criteria have been put in place, resulting in increased enrolment and smoother transition into kindergarten for children aged 3 – 4, which is crucial for long-term educational success and development.
