Schools across the UAE are preparing for a return to in-person learning, with authorities confirming that students will gradually head back to classrooms after a period of distance learning. A phased reopening will begin, allowing schools, nurseries, and educational institutions to resume on-site teaching in a controlled and organised way.

The return will be carefully managed, with some early years settings reopening first, followed by wider school populations. Officials say the approach is designed to prioritise safety while ensuring a smooth transition back to normal learning. The move marks a significant step towards restoring regular school routines after weeks of disruption, giving students and parents clearer timelines for the remainder of the academic term.
