Al Khaili: 116 PPP operator contracts to phase out by the end of this school year

WAM Abu Dhabi, 13 June 2011 (WAM) -- Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Director General of Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), said that the PPP Project has achieved its targeted goals and as originally planned a phase out of 116 PPP operator contracts is going to take effect at the end of this school year; the remaining 65 PPP operator contracts are scheduled to expire by the end of 2012.

The PPP program was established in 2006 as part of ADEC's strategic initiatives aiming to improve education in Abu Dhabi public schools.

"During the last five years, PPP has proven to be very successful in its aim of enhancing the teaching and learning processes as well as strengthening school leadership," Dr. Al Khaili added.

The project has introduced various world-class teaching strategies that helped improve student skills in English as well as other areas while promoting national identity, culture and values of students as evidenced by the various activities carried out in and outside schools, Dr. Al Khaili pointed out.

"During the previous school years, the PPP project was instrumental in fostering relations between school and community by encouraging community members to actively engage in school activities and students to take part in various community events '&' activities," ADEC's Director General added.

ADEC will ensure that PPP teaching and curriculum standards are maintained by schools under the supervision of cluster managers who will be providing the teaching and administrative staff with all necessary support, he stressed.

"ADEC is keen to help schools shift from reliance on operators to a rather independent approach while performing their various operations based on the experience acquired from the PPP program in terms of teaching, knowledge sharing, assessment and student activities. "We have gained knowledge and faced many challenges from the PPP project experience. Thus, we all have to make the best use of the successful experience and overcome challenges," he added.
