The Secondary Technical School (STS)

The establishment of technical high schools (STS) as a main branch of the Abu Dhabi Vocational Education and Training Institute (ADVETI) reflects the sincere interest of the wise leadership of the UAE in education for all of its citizens. It also reflects that the state needs national youth trained in the technical, vocational and technological fields. A technical high school is a one of a kind chance for young men and women to complete their education and professional training that will qualify them to take part in developing vocational and technological plans and programs for entities focused on technical, technological and vocational projects. STS schools provide students with an alternative choice to government and private schools and the Applied Technical High Schools (ATHS) which are run by the Institute of Applied Technology (IAT).
