Education Ministry announced yesterday that the agreement between the ministry and the contractor, which was previously awarded the development project of Arabiyya School's (Almadhrasathul Arabiyyathul Islamiyya) new building, was voided after both parties failed to agree on a lower price.

The project was scheduled to be completed within 420 days at a price of MVR 168.5 million.
