Adec rolls out curriculum for next academic year

The Abu Dhabi schools are gearing up for an impressive makeover in the upcoming academic year.

In a recently held meeting, Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) announced its decision to roll out changes in the new curriculum that will mark a transformational development in the educational system.

The education regulatory authority will spin out the New School Model (NSM) across Cycle 2 schools in Abu Dhabi.

The decision was announced by Dr Mugheer Al Khaili, Director General of  Adec at a meeting that was attended by 265 public school principals from Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the western region.

“The successful NSM implementation in Kindergarten and Cycle 1 schools over the past few years will help enhance the effectiveness of Cycle 2 programs and activities,” explained Dr Al Khaili.

“The middle grades (Cycle 2) are a time of transition for students academically and developmentally. Thus, it is of a paramount importance to identify teachers that are qualified to teach these students in line with NSM standards and in order to increase educational attainment by providing appropriate education for all to improve Cycle 3 performance,” informed Dr Karima Al Mazroui, Adec’s curriculum division manager.

“Parents often become less involved as their children get older, especially when during their transition to middle school, that is why we call out on parents to play a more active role in the teaching and learning of their children at home.”
