Abu Dhabi public schools provide space for private pupils

A total of 194 students from five private schools in Abu Dhabi have sat for their English exam in one of the capital's public schools due to lack of sufficient space in their schools, Gulf News has reported. 'We have 112 science students and 82 literature students from grade 12 taking their first day mid-term exams in a public school to avoid cheating and due to the fact that they don't have spacious examination halls in their own schools,' Mohammad Salem Al Daheri, Director, Adez, told the newspaper. 'That's why the Abu Dhabi Education Council is in the process of rebuilding more spacious schools across the emirate,' he added.
