Abu Dhabi private schools returning to in-person classes
Remote education has led to difficulties for students throughout the world, including in Middle Eastern countries.
Abu Dhabi’s education authorities have announced that students at private schools must return to in-person classes.
The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge told private and charter schools that they must return to in-person learning for the upcoming academic term. The decision follows widespread compliance with measures designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the official Emirates News Agency reported today.
Students throughout the United Arab Emirates will return from spring break on April 14.
Some stipulations apply. Unvaccinated students ages 16 and older must provide a negative PCR test result every seven days. Vaccinated students 16 and older, as well as vaccinated teachers and staff, will also need to provide a negative PCR test result every 14 days, according to the agency.
