The decision "depends on the health circumstances", it said.

However, the authority was quick to note that the final decision would "definitely be for the good of both students and educational staff".

Earlier, the Minister of Education had said that a hybrid model of learning that combined both distance education and in-person classes would continue in the UAE during the next academic year.
