The Best School, Raa Atoll Education Centre

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.
