Two UAE schools shortlisted for global awards over environment and health initiatives
“There is a big push for pupils to walk and bike to the school, a lot of carpool opportunities for our
parents, so that they have a car-free day. We even celebrate some days where electricity use is
minimal.”
The school has raised awareness about the importance of electronic waste recycling by initiating
campaigns for World Environment Day and Campus Sustainability Month.
During the e-waste drive, the school collected old digital devices and teamed up with a company to
recycle these products. The school raised around 2,000kg of e-waste.
Pupils are now working with local companies to introduce e-waste bins across malls in Dubai.
They have also worked on plans to use solar panels, and reuse school uniforms and textbooks, as well
as taken part in a plant adoption drive.
Established in 2022, the World’s Best School Prize gives a platform to schools that are changing lives in
their classrooms and far beyond their walls.
