Abu Dhabi schools to get upgrade

The Abu Dhabi Education Council has announced plans to upgrade all government schools in the UAE capital over the next six years. The changes, which will be introduced in phases in an effort to avoid disruption to pupils, will include bilingual (Arabic and English) studies starting from kindergarden level, a new curriculum for all schools, career guidance, a new new student assessment system and new organisational structure to correspond with the size of each school.
