Supply of Indian schools in Abu Dhabi to tighten

New concerns about the demand for Indian school seats in Abu Dhabi have been fuelled by the announcement that Sherwood Academy and Merryland Kindergarten, following the Indian curriculum, will close by 2013, reported Gulf News. Meanwhile, the management of the school will continue to run its existing UK curriculum following school and also set up a new one, officials announced in a recent circular issued to parents. Lower classes such as kindergarten and grade one have been suspended from this year as part of the phasing out of pupils. The circular, issued last month, informs parents that the school is being closed in line with the Abu Dhabi Education Council's calls to close all private schools on residential plots by 2013.
