In the United Arab Emirates, several schools will continue online education as they await necessary permits from educational authorities. Schools must pass inspections by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai and the Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) in Abu Dhabi to be approved for in-person classes. Communications sent to parents indicated that some schools are still awaiting inspection dates, while others have already undergone inspections and are waiting for formal approval. For instance, a Dubai school mentioned that if they do not receive confirmation by late Saturday evening, they will remain in distance education on Monday. In contrast, some schools have announced specific dates for resuming in-person learning, with one Dubai branch set to reopen on April 22 and a Sharjah branch on April 20. Additionally, public school parents have been informed that in-person classes will commence on Monday, April 20, while school bus services remain unavailable, subject to weekly review.
