Education Ministry changes Imaaduddine School’s principals

The principal and deputy principal of Imaaduddine School in Male’ city have been changed.

Those changed by the Education Ministry yesterday are principal Ibrahim Shathir and deputy principals Shakeebaa Ali and Latheefaa Hassan.

It is also reported that they have been appointed to Hiriya School by the Education Ministry. The principal of Iskandar School Hussain Saeed has been temporarily appointed to run the Imaaduddine School.

Shathir was appointed to the post in July of 2019 after the then principal Ahmed Mujaahid was appointed as a Deputy Minister of the Economic Ministry.
