An Abu Dhabi school that rose to the challenge of preparing pupils for university life during a Covid-19 shutdown has won an international honour.
Teachers at the British International School Abu Dhabi got creative when summer exams were cancelled for their Year 13 learners due to the pandemic.
With results instead decided on predicted grades, it left teachers and pupils with no tests to work towards for the rest of the academic year.
The school quickly put together six courses, on European literature, culture studies, medicine, biochemistry, neuroscience, and psychology, to keep young minds sharp as learning switched online.
It was recognised for its ingenuity at the International School Awards 2021 with victory in the Pathways to Continued and University Education category at a virtual awards ceremony held on Monday.
