Izzudheen School (Dhivehi: ޢިއްޒުއްދީން ސްކޫލް, also spelled as I'zzudhdheen, Izzuddin) is a school located in Malé, Maldives.[2][3] It was inaugurated by former president, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.[3] It is a single session school.[4][5]

History

The school is named after Al Sultan Ghaazee Hassan Izzudheen Dhonbandaarain.[3] It was opened in the building of the old Malé English School.[2][4] It is the first school in the Maldives to have a lunch programme. It has a cap of 25 students per classroom, the first public school to have a limit.[2][3] Temporarily, students of Arabiyya School were transferred to Izzudheen to study due to the cracks in the foundation of the building.[6][7] But the parents refused and staged a protest with the campaign "Save Arabiyya."[8][9][10]

Previous Principals and Deputy Principals

  • Ismail Naseer (1 January 2021 - 3 July 2021)[11]
  • Fathimath Suza (4 July 2021 - 23 September 2021) (DP at Iskandhar School)[11]
  • Nazira Hassan (24 September 2021 - 31 December 2021)[11]

Sexual harassment

The principal of Izzudheen, Ismail Naseer, was accused of sexually harassing teachers at the school.[12] This led to an investigation, which found him guilty.[12] The Teachers' Association of Maldives (TAM) asked the Education Ministry to take action against the principal,[13] in response the Ministry reassigned the principal to a different school.[12][14] After leading teachers resigned en mass,[15] they were reassigned to different schools.[16] After being reassigned, the teachers were threatened in different ways. Some were threatened, while others were bullied.[17]
