Education

Alif Dhaal Dhangethi School is the third largest school in the A.Dh atoll. Students can join to grade 1 at the age of 7 years and complete their O’ Level at the end of their 10th grade at this school. Those students doing O’ Level had chances to choose either Commerce stream or Science stream for their studies at Alif Dhaal Dhangethi School, but due to less student doing science stream and due to insufficient equipment in science laboratory, it has been called off after 2008 batch. However, lately in 2012, there has been introduced a combined stream since many students of that batch were wanting to take science or medical field in their future. And hopefully, the school will be developed and equipped with all the necessary requirements soon.
