The UAE has announced that distance learning will continue across all nurseries, kindergartens, and public and private schools until April 17, as authorities prioritise the safety and wellbeing of students and staff. The Ministry of Education confirmed that the decision applies nationwide, with all teaching and administrative activities remaining online for the time being.
The move follows an extended period of remote education that began in early March, with schools adapting quickly to virtual learning environments. Authorities have said the situation will be reviewed on a weekly basis, meaning the April 17 deadline could change depending on developments. While most institutions will remain fully online, some higher education programmes that require practical training or exams may still allow limited on-campus access.
