'Nationalism' subject introduced in fourth grade across 11 schools

Today marks the commencement of a new academic initiative for Grade 4 students in select schools, as nationalism is introduced as a distinct subject. Although initially piloted in 11 schools across Male' and atolls, the official integration into all schools is set to take place with the commencement of the upcoming academic year in May.

The primary objective behind incorporating nationalism into the curriculum is to cultivate a sense of pride and love for one's country among students. The comprehensive curriculum will cover nationalism across various grades, with the subject being organized into different key stages.
