The school where a girl died after being locked in a bus will be permanently closed, a court has confirmed.
The closure of Al Worood Academy Private School was confirmed by the Abu Dhabi Court of Cassation on Saturday.
Abu Dhabi Education Council decided to close Al Worood after the death of Nizaha Aalaa, 3, an Indian girl who was locked inside a school bus from 7am until noon.
The school filed a lawsuit trying to overrule the authority’s decision, but the court found Al Worood to be negligent in a way that endangered pupils.
The Court of Cassation last year ruled that the blood money to Nizaha’s family be paid by the school, its principal, the bus driver and supervisor.
