As schools across the United Arab Emirates prepare to reopen on April 20, families are returning to their routines after nearly 50 days of distance learning due to regional tensions. The UAE’s Ministry of Education has confirmed that all nurseries, kindergartens, and schools will resume on-campus classes, while universities will also reopen for in-person learning. However, some institutions, like Leams Education, are delaying their reopening to finalize staff training and safety compliance. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has emphasized that flexibility will be key, allowing schools to offer a mix of in-person and distance learning as needed. Additionally, school bus operations will resume, and families are actively engaging in back-to-school shopping, reflecting a growing excitement for the return to classroom learning. The education sector is balancing a return to normalcy with necessary caution as the situation continues to be monitored.
