He also mentioned that progress is underway for the opening of DBS Jumeirah in 2024.

DBS Mira is set to cater to more than 1,600 students aged three to 11, spanning Early Years Foundation Stage 1 to Year 7.

DBS Mira’s capacity to accommodate over 1,600 students at full utilization underlines Taaleem’s dedication to its growth strategy. Additionally, Taaleem remains on track to complete two other greenfield projects, demonstrating their continued commitment to expanding educational offerings in the region.
