During a field visit, His Excellency Abdulla Mohammed Al Basti said: “We are committed to completing the project in accordance with
the directives of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The expansion project will enhance the city's
educational infrastructure and prepare generations capable of making effective contributions to building a knowledge and innovation-
driven economy.
His Excellency expressed gratitude to Dubai Municipality and the Knowledge Fund Establishment for their contributions as key
partners of the project. He also noted that preparations are in progress to welcome male and female students to the two schools in Al
Khawaneej and Al Barsha at the beginning of the new academic year 2024-2025.
During the visit, the Dubai Schools Steering Committee honoured the project's technical and administrative teams for achieving five
million work hours in the construction process while maintaining the highest standards of health and safety protocols. With
approximately 2,000 workers engaged across the construction sites in Al Khawaneej and Al Barsha, the technical and administrative
teams prioritised providing construction workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their duties safely and efficiently.
