He said that unlike the jetty, the preschool was built by joint aid from Siyam, the government and also businessman Gasim Ibrahim.

Until now, the island has been holding preschool classes in Hulhudheli School. A total of 65 students will shift to the new preschool and the it is a step forward towards improving the quality of preschool education in the island, Zahir said.

Yesterday’s ceremony included an tradition dance presented by the island’s preschool children, and a cake-slicing and tea event organized by the preschool parents.
