Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) announced a partnership with the Centre for Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) to sponsor the ‘MACL Merit Award’. The partnership which was signed on Sunday was formalized by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and will support four high-achieving students completing Grade 11 each year for a period of three years.
The MoU was signed at a special ceremony held at the MACL Corporate Office between the Principal of CHSE, Aishath Safoora and the CEO & MD of MACL, Mr. Mahjoob Shujau. The signing ceremony was attended by both senior staff of MACL and CHSE. The partnership stands as a true testament to the commitment of both MACL and CHSE to nurture academic excellence and foster the holistic development of students, who would ultimately be the future leaders of the nation.
Under this partnership, two girls and two boys will be selected annually based on their academic performance and overall merit for the MACL Merit Award. MACL will then equip the selected students with resources to further excel in their academic excellence and grant them the opportunity to experience the diverse working environment of Velana International Airport.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the CEO & MD of MACL Mr. Mahjoob Shujau, said, "Our goal with the MACL Merit Award is not just to recognize outstanding academic performance, but to empower these bright minds with resources that can further enhance their educational journey. Moreover, we wish to provide them with the opportunity to work at MACL to pursue a career."
Since its inception in 1979, CHSE has served as a leading academic institution in advanced-level education, producing the best A-Level scores and the greatest number of student wins in the top ten national competitions. This collaboration with MACL aims to further nurture the academic potential of CHSE students.
