UAE Public Schools Adopt Distance Learning Fridays During Ramadan

The UAE's Ministry of Education has launched the 'Ramadan with the Family' initiative, designating each Friday during Ramadan as a distance learning day for public school students. This initiative aims to foster family bonds and promote the core values of Ramadan by allowing students to engage in activities with their parents at home while maintaining academic progress. Students with pre-approved exam schedules on Fridays will continue attending school in-person, while teachers will remain available for those who choose to attend. The Ministry has provided a guidance manual to support families in utilizing this time effectively, featuring various educational and cultural activities. The overall goal is to enhance the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan while ensuring a balance between education and family unity. This initiative aligns with the UAE leadership’s vision for creating a supportive community environment during the holy month.
