Five
hundred top-performing high school students have left for Australia, Ireland,
the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada to attend a five-week English
language training programme funded by a grant from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of
the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Education Council.
During
the "Summer Abroad" programme, male students will stay with host
families while female students will stay at housing provided by the concerned
language institutes in the respective countries.
The
students are accompanied by 60 supervisors who will prepare daily and weekly
reports on the programme and coordinate all other activities for the students.
Ahmad
Al Shamsi, ADEC’s General Services Division Manager and the Project Manager
said the programme will give participating students a chance to be
self-dependent, allow them to enhance their linguistic skills and build
leadership and social skills.
He
added that the students showed true interest in acquiring new skills that would
help them achieve their academic ambitions. –End-
