A new Special Education Needs (SEN) classroom has been established at Th. Veymandoo School with funding from the Bank of Maldives (BML) Community Fund, aimed at enhancing inclusive education and supporting the development of students requiring specialized learning assistance.
The initiative
was undertaken by the Veymandoo Zuvaanunge Gulhun project, which received
funding last year. The classroom has been designed to support students’ fine
and gross motor skills, improve their ability to engage with others, and
encourage active participation in the community.
Veymandoo School
has set its sights on expanding the classroom further to provide life-skills
training such as cooking, sewing, and other daily activities that will help
students become more independent.
President of
Veymandoo Zuvaanunge Gulhun, Ahmed Shaugath, said the aim of the project is to
provide a learning environment tailored to the needs of students who require
additional support. He also expressed gratitude to the school for its
cooperation during the construction phase, noting that the facility will open
new opportunities for students with special needs.
This year alone,
BML has supported the development of two other SEN classrooms—at Salahuddin
School in Hulhumalé and Hiriya School in Malé—benefiting more than 200
students. The initiative reflects the Bank’s continued commitment to
strengthening education and community development across the Maldives.
