Parents and students of Dubai, we finally have news as to whether or not schools and universities will resume operations as per usual for the next academic year.
Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority has confirmed that all schools and universities within the emirate will reopen this September.
The news was announced in a tweet just hours ago.
Schools will be reopening in the new academic year; some things might look different, but others wont change – making sure children are healthy & safe, and giving them the best learning experience possible. #InThisTogetherDubai #NewDaysNewWays

In an official statement, Anoud Abdullah Al-Hajj, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education in the UAE, listed and elaborated on several COVID-19 safety guidelines that will be implemented once schools and universities reopen.
These include:
- All students and staff members will need to have their temperatures checked regularly.
- All common areas and frequently touched objects will need to be sanitized regularly.
- A strict social distance of two meters is to be maintained, meaning that fewer pupils and staff members will be allowed per room.
- School bus capacity will be limited to 30 percent.
- The number of school field trips, assemblies, sports games, and parties will be limited.
Al-Hajj added that a health officer will be posted at every education facility and that parents would also have to monitor their children's health closely and inform the school if any COVID-19 symptoms arise.
Students and staff members with underlying health conditions will be monitored on a case-by-case basis.
