All 72 villa schools in the capital have been shut down by the Abu Dhabi Education Council. It’s part of ADEC’s plan to ensure a safe and healthy school environment for students. The council has stressed that the villa schools did not comply with their policies and lacked laboratories, well-stocked libraries and sufficient sports facilities. Following the closure, an additional 20,000 school seats have been offered to pupils across modern, purpose-built schools in the capital.
