In response to unpredictable weather conditions, all private schools in Dubai have been instructed to conduct remote learning on Tuesday, April 16. This decision, announced by Dubai’s Crown Prince, follows a directive from the Emirates School Education Foundation urging public schools across the UAE to operate remotely.
Government entities in Dubai have also been advised to facilitate remote work for employees. The precautionary measures extend beyond education, with public schools across the UAE mandated to conduct remote learning on both Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17.
Moreover, private sector companies operating in areas most affected by the erratic weather patterns in the UAE are urged to take precautions, especially in outdoor work environments where suspending operations may be challenging.
This proactive response mirrors the decision by the local emergency, crisis, and disaster team in Ras Al Khaimah to transition government institutions in the emirate to distance learning.
