The Sharjah Department of Public Works (SDPW) is on a drive to expand and upgrade its educational infrastructure, including schools and nurseries. A fund of AED500 million has been set aside for this.
The plan includes new educational institutions, development and maintenance of existing ones in various parts of the emirate. The school also features 16 classrooms across both buildings, along with libraries, science and computer laboratories, medical facilities, multi-purpose play areas and a 117-seat theatre.
The drive has already been set in motion with the SDPW completing Muhadhab School in just 60 days, transforming a 30,000-square-metre site into an educational complex capable of accommodating 400 students.
Its kindergarten and nursery facilities serve 150 children, while the building for grades one to four accommodates 250 students.
The school features 16 classrooms across both buildings, along with libraries, science and computer laboratories, medical facilities, multi-purpose play areas and a 117-seat theatre.
Educational centres in Al Suyouh and Al Rahmaniya have also been expanded. Besides, construction of four government nurseries, work on Victoria International School in Al Dhaid and Tuwaila Nursery in Al Madam are also under construction. The second phase of the Victoria School expansion in Kalba has been completed. New facilities include a semi-Olympic swimming pool and a sports complex.
The projects are being coordinated with the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) to ensure compliance with educational standards, licensing and operational requirements, including safety and early childhood provision, a WAM report said.
