Dubai extends distance learning for private institutions until April 3; KHDA says on-site return requires approval

The move places student safety at the centre, while allowing limited flexibility for institutions that can justify a return to classrooms.

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) confirmed that distance learning will remain in place for all private educational institutions in the Emirate of Dubai until Friday, April 3, 2026. The decision aligns with a broader announcement made by the Education, Human Development and Community Council, reinforcing a coordinated approach across the sector.
