Raa Atoll Education Centre was opened to cater to the educational needs of the students of the atoll by the government of the Maldives . The Centre’s foundation was laid on 31st May 1981 . It was inaugurated on 4th March 1983 by the then Honourable Minister of Education , Mr. Mohamed Zahir, and Honourable Minister for Health , Mr. Mohamed Musthafa Hussain.
The school initially began to function with a meager strength of 180 students and four teachers at the primary level . There were two sessions for classes of grade 1 and special classes 1,2,3. Since its conception the school has gone through many stages of progress .
Today , the school has classes from Grade 1- 10 with a strength of over 661 students.
Both , Commerce and Science streams are being offered to the secondary grade students who are being able to follow the same inspite of the courses being comparatively new to them. As a result of this , many students from other islands are virtually drawn to this school.
