How will the school day be structured when classes resume in UAE?

Some private schools in the UAE will have all students in on all days while others will have both online and in-person classes when the new academic year begins on August 30.

Broadly, the main reopening models include the following options: A normal school day; coming to class in either a morning or afternoon shift; going to school on alternate days; a 100 per cent distance-learning provision for those who request it; and a mix of in-person and online classes.

In Abu Dhabi, the education sector regulator, the Department of Education and Knowledge (Adek), announced last week that parents can choose to keep children at home for distance learning in the upcoming school term.
