Since late 2003, SLA has been working with EDB to market disused State properties for its Global Schoolhouse project. We have about 100 vacant State properties, which include former school buildings, hospitals, army camps and government offices.
There is a business opportunity to marry EDB's interest to grow the education sector and SLA's interest to optimise the use of vacant state properties. Under this partnership, we identify suitable disused State properties that have school/campus-like facilities. EDB markets these State properties to its prospective clients for educational related uses.

1. The former Charlton School. It is is now being used by Delhi Public School since April 2004
