ABU DHABI — An Arabic teaching centre has been set up at the Cultural Office in the Embassy of Egypt in order to impart Arabic lessons to non-Arabic speaking expatriates.
ABU DHABI — A new regulation governing the private school fee will be announced by the Abu Dhabi Education Zone in the coming few days, Nadya Madi, deputy director of the Abu Dhabi Education Zone, Private School Affairs, has said.
Any increase in school fee by the private schools would not be allowed unless the school gets approval for it from the Education Zone, she said.
The official said that such an approval would not be given to the school unless convincing reasons for increasing the school fee were explained to the education zone.
She made plain that the new regulation includes some binding standards and conditions with which the schools must comply before it requests any hike in fees.
According to Egyptian Cultural Attache Dr Tariq Wahdan, the Arabic teaching centre is the first to be established in the UAE by an Arab country.
The centre is equipped with the latest multimedia facilities used in teaching, and a number of experts, who are proficient in English, French and German and whose mother tongue is not Arabic, have been hired, he said.
The Arabic course would help develop the skills of students in listening, reading, writing and conversation, he said.
The classes will be conducted throughout the week from 9am to 10pm. The Egyptian embassy's Cultural Office is located between Elektra and Al Najda streets, and those interested in join the programme may contact 02-6331550 from 9am until 4pm or cell number 050-3287865 round the clock.
