The UAE's Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research have announced the implementation of distance learning from Tuesday, May 5, until Friday, May 8, for students, teachers and administrative staff across nurseries, public and private schools, and all higher education institutions nationwide.
This measure is being taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the education community. The situation will be reviewed on Friday, May 8, and the period may be extended if necessary.
The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research added that priority academic programmes that require clinical training, laboratory use, direct practical or field-based application, or in-person examinations are exempt; such programmes will continue with face-to-face instruction, as determined by the Ministry.
