All teacher events will also be postponed. “With this communication, all pre-planned trips and related approvals issued by the KHDA became invalid," the notice, which Khaleej Times has seen, read.
As per directives issued on Thursday, children or relatives who have travelled to China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Italy, and Japan have been requested to fill out the form and hand it over to the school administration.
GEMS Education and Taaleem are among the school groups that have issued the circular to parents. School officials have said the form is required to be completed if the family or a relative has a recent travel history to the above-mentioned countries.dhanusha@khaleejtimes.com
