The schools will be built in Khalifa city and Mohamed bin Zayed city. The initiative is part of the government’s efforts to meet the growing demand for private schools.
Three plots of land will be allocated to run the ADEC curriculum, two plots to run English and American education curriculums, and one plot for an English-language Philippine curriculum.
