Ramadan 2023: Dubai announces remote learning for private school students on Fridays
Schools can decide whether they wish to offer remote learning based on parental consultations
Private schools in Dubai will be allowed to offer distance learning classes on Fridays during the holy month of Ramadan.
The announcement was made by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in line with directives of the UAE and Dubai governments earlier this week, which stated that 70 per cent of federal employees could opt to work from home on Fridays during Ramadan.
Remote working hours were also announced for students of public universities and schools.
The KHDA on Friday noted that schools and universities will consult with their communities to see if distance learning on Fridays is a suitable option for them.
Here is all you need to know:
