He pointed out that we are not just building a school; we are building a community, a community where students, parents, and teachers work together to create a positive and enriching educational experience. We will also cultivate a culture of respect, integrity, and excellence together.
“As we start this exciting journey, I want to thank everyone who has helped make this school a reality. Your support and dedication have been essential in bringing our vision to life. Together, we will strive to make Alminnah International Academy a place of excellence in education, where young minds are nurtured, dreams are achieved, and futures are built.
Dr. Muhammed Ahmed then appealed to the authorities to provide electricity and a road to this area; additionally, we also requested the installation of solar boreholes and streetlights around the school and its surroundings to enhance security.
