Ministry denies social media rumors on changes to school hours

The Ministry of Education has firmly denied online claims suggesting that government school hours in the UAE would be adjusted, stressing that no such decision has been made.

In a statement issued Saturday, August 23, the ministry clarified that school timings remain unchanged at all levels, including kindergartens. It emphasized that the information circulating on social media is “false” and did not come from any of its official channels, Khaleej Times reported.

Officials also highlighted that no announcements regarding school hours have been released through the ministry’s verified platforms. The public was urged to rely only on official sources for updates to avoid the spread of misinformation.

The ministry’s reminder comes as part of its ongoing effort to combat misleading posts online and ensure that parents, students, and educators receive accurate information directly from recognized authorities.
