The UAE Ministry of Education has denied reports claiming an extension of distance learning until May 1, clarifying that the information is inaccurate.
The authority stressed that any decisions related to education will only be announced through the ministry’s official channels.
Currently, distance learning is in place until April 17 across all educational institutions in the UAE for students, teaching staff, and administrative personnel.
When schools across the UAE transitioned to online learning this year, the shift was significantly smoother compared to the Covid-19 pandemic period. To support families, the Sharjah government also introduced flexible remote work arrangements for female employees with children enrolled in schools or nurseries.
The ministry first mandated distance learning from March 2 following Iran’s attacks on Gulf states, including the UAE. The measure was extended until Friday, March 6, before authorities announced an early spring break.
Remote learning was later extended after the spring break to prioritise the safety of the educational community amid the US–Israel–Iran conflict.
As authorities continue to closely monitor regional developments and assess the situation, updates will be communicated through official school channels.
