The Ministry of Education has denied rumours about changing the school uniforms, after a video went viral suggesting that uniforms of state schools had been changed.
According to a statement issued by the Education Media Centre, the ministry called on all parents to only rely on information from one of the ministry's departments or its official social media accounts to verify any information.
A video has gone viral on social media suggesting that UAE had introduced a new type of school uniform with different standards and colours for classes 1, 2 and 3.

The video also showed different types of uniforms for students from classes 5 to 8.
Earlier this year, the ministry had issued a decision to have same uniforms at all government schools across the country.
All of the uniforms would be available from August 18. The ministry added that the uniforms will be available at 85 sale points across the UAE.
