MoE opens Science and Food Safety Academy in four schools in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah

At the beginning of the current academic year, the Ministry of Education (MoE) inaugurated the Science and Food Safety Academy (SFSA) in four schools in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah (Al Samaliya School for Boys and Al Samha School for Girls in Abu Dhabi and Musa Bin Nusair Primary School for Boys and Al Dheet Primary school for Girls in Ras Al Khaimah). As part of its future plan, the SFSA seeks to attract 500 students during the next few years in line with the MoE’s directives aimed at empowering students in many specialized fields closely related to the UAE’s agenda and its future forward-looking plans.

The inauguration of the SFSA comes as part of the MoE’s bid to keep pace with the plans and aspirations of the UAE government, which has paid considerable attention to this vital sector in order to achieve its future strategic plans related to the training of national cadres specialized in the field of food. This will also contribute to enriching the UAE education system by giving students multiple academic options that meet their aspirations and are consistent with their skills.

In addition to their general stream, the students joining the SFSA will study the basic sciences related to food and nutrition, which, in turn, help them understand how the various elements are interrelated. They will also study the processes concerned with food production, which help to develop new and distinct products.
