Schools are scheduled to open in September after the summer break, according to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
The statement on its 'Safety at Schools' webpage further added that "it's still unknown what form this will take or whether that will change". The KHDA is working closely with government officials so that a decision in this direction can be made.
The portal is dedicated to common questions and announcements related to education topics in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, the authority stressed that early learning centres, schools, universities and training institutes are currently not allowed to exchange any type of paper material with their students, except for textbooks for this term.
In order to ensure uninterrupted delivery of the distance learning programme, it advised institutions to incorporate alternative strategies and online learning methods, in addition to any electronic communication tools that are accessible to teachers and students.
These instructions are in line with precautionary measures taken to reduce the possibility of transmission of the Covid-19 virus infection.
The distance learning programme that began in March year has been extended until the summer break.
