Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) and Alhosn National Health System have announced the emirate\u2019s pioneering Abu Dhabi Blue School initiative has been integrated into the Alhosn App. The initiative\u2019s integration into the official COVID-19 testing channel for health authorities in the UAE reflects ADEK\u2019s commitment to collaborate with all partners and government stakeholders to foster transparency, encourage optimal vaccination rates, and ensure the health and safety of the Abu Dhabi school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter working closely with parents to ensure maximum transparency in numerous education continuation decisions throughout the last academic year, and the first term of the current year, our commitment to the health and safety of Abu Dhabi\u2019s student and school communities remains our primary priority ahead of the new term,\u201d said HE Amer Al Hammadi, ADEK Undersecretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur objective is to deliver maximum transparency; by integrating Abu Dhabi Blue Schools as a dedicated feature in the Alhosn App we are enabling parents to view accurate vaccination rate data across their children\u2019s classrooms, macrobubbles and schools. We believe this honest, responsible and private utilization of data will afford increased visibility and encourage more parents to play their role in fostering health and safety across the emirate\u2019s education ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of December 30, Abu Dhabi parents can update their Alhosn App through the AppStore and GooglePlay, add their children to their personal accounts, and access school information through the Abu Dhabi Blue Schools feature. To ensure student privacy, school and classroom vaccination insights will appear as anonymized percentages and numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur team is committed to working with all relevant stakeholders to ensure our communities remain safe and healthy during the pandemic. By working with ADEK to integrate transparent vaccination rates across the Abu Dhabi school community within the Alhosn App via Alhosn National Health System, we are underlining exactly why the emirate\u2019s collaborative response to the pandemic continues to set new global benchmarks,\u201d said Alhosn National Health Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe emirate\u2019s leading response to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to Abu Dhabi being named the MENA region\u2019s safest city by the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s Safe Cites Index,\u201d added HE Al Hammadi. \u201cOur globally regarded response is the result of close cooperation among all relevant stakeholders, as evidenced by ADEK\u2019s collaboration with the Alhosn National Health System team, which demonstrates how data utilization and cutting-edge technology can boost transparency and reassure parents about the health and safety of their children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the launch of the Abu Dhabi Blue Schools feature on the Alhosn App, school\u2019s vaccination numbers and percentages for in-class students will be updated every fortnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile vaccination of students below 16 years old remains optional, we are confident that parents will continue to foster health and safety of school communities with further vaccination uptake in the new year,\u201d concluded HE Al Hammadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in October 2021, the Abu Dhabi Blue Schools initiative encourages immunization of all students to increase protection against COVID-19 and its variants. The initiative offers Abu Dhabi schools a clear roadmap to normalcy by providing customized privileges based on student vaccination rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its launch, the initiative has helped drive increased vaccination uptake among Private and Charter School students, with 42 of schools already moving to the Yellow tier, 22 to the Green tier, and 2 schools to the Blue tier after achieving 85%+ vaccination rates for students attending schools physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
