Dr. Kenneth Vedra, Director General of the Emirates National Schools, said that the branch in the Emirate of Dubai will enable its students to take pride in their cultural heritage while offering best international practices in teaching and learning. It will also work to provide students with educational programs that develop personality, and use of the latest technology technologies to support and develop the educational process.
What do the buttons do?
