Distance learning in the UAE is staying in place a bit longer. Remote classes will continue until at least Friday, April 17. The decision was announced by the Ministry of Education, which will monitor the situation and provide weekly updates.
The update covers public and private schools, nurseries, and kindergartens across the country. In Dubai, schools can submit requests for an earlier return to classrooms, but any decision depends on approval from the Ministry of Education.
There’s still no update for university students.

As it was announced on March 16, federal government employees with children in kindergarten through Grade 8 or enrolled in nurseries can now work remotely if their job allows it.
