Expo 2020 Dubai: Schools to offer students free transport

Schools in Dubai are gearing up for curated educational journeys in their own way, ahead of the upcoming world expo. Many of them are organising free bus trips to the mega event for their students, giving them the opportunity to see the future of the world first-hand. The world fair that will run from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 has several of its pavilions designed with children and youth in mind. Alya Al-Ali, Vice President of the Expo School Programme, explained that each of the four journeys planned will offer students an immersive, memorable experience. "Aligned with the UAE’s diverse school curricula, our school journeys are wonderful opportunities for us to bring students’ classrooms to life and complement a variety of academic subjects with unique, inspiring and interactive exhibits,” she said. Head teachers across the country have, in turn, expressed confidence that Expo 2020 will prove to be a sound educational experience, thanks to its many child-friendly activities, workshops, interactive exhibits, and shows. Punit MK Vasu, CEO of The Indian High Group of Schools, noted that the UAE's Year of the 50th coincided with a milestone of their own, with the Indian High School completing 60 years too.
