Its Official! Dubai Schools WILL Reopen In September

Credits: The National

On 22 June, Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announced on Twitter that schools in Dubai will reopen in September. It further added that a few things might look different, but others won’t change. Besides, schools are making sure children are healthy and safe, and giving them the best learning experience possible.

As per KHDA’s latest update, all schools and universities in Dubai can reopen for the next academic year provided they adhere to certain rules and regulations. Here’s how schools will welcome back students for the next academic year:

Guidelines Schools Will Follow

  1. Regular temperature checks
  2. Reducing classroom capacity
  3. Ensuring strict social distancing measures
  4. Limiting gatherings like assemblies, sports events and other activities that will require large groups of students
  5. Staggered meal times to avoid over crowding
  6. Sterilizing the school premises including all class rooms, libraries, and other activity areas
  7. Ensuring a trained health professional is in campus at all times
  8. School buses will operate at 30% capacity, with temperature checks done prior to boarding

That said, KHDA also added that no one rule will work perfectly for all schools. Each school will operate in a way that best suits them so all guidelines are met. Here are some options schools might pick:

  1. Schools can choose a full return to classrooms. That would mean all students return to classroom at the same time
  2. Continuing distance learning on a part- time basis
  3. Staggered shift basis- where students will be split on basis of shifts

Besides, as of now no decision has been about the reopening of nurseries andnd early learning centres.
