Umm Al Qaiwain public and private schools will switch to distance learning during the first two weeks of the second term from January 3 in line with the instructions made at the country level to ensure safe return to schooling.

The emirate’s Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee said the decision does not apply to the emirate’s nurseries where in-class learning will continue, with testing campaigns and precautionary measures to be ramped up for staff and the situation will be constantly monitored.
