Classrooms across the UAE are set to reopen, with authorities confirming that all students and staff will return to in-person learning from April 20, while private schools retain the option to adopt a hybrid model where needed.
The Ministry of Education announced that in-person learning will resume for all enrolled children, students, educational staff and administrative staff in both public and private nurseries, kindergartens and schools from Monday, 20 April 2026. The decision comes after schools completed required readiness measures, including facility preparations, staff training, and updated safety and security procedures aimed at ensuring a safe and reassuring environment for students and their families.
