This is a “precautionary measure to limit the spread of Covid-19 and
protect the health and safety of the schooling community,” the committee said.

It urged parents, guardians and academic and administrative staff in all
schools to get the Covid-19 vaccine. This is to “protect themselves against the
virus and help develop comprehensive protection for the wider community, which
will accelerate the safe return to schools”.

Students in the Capital were set to return to campus on January 17 after
two weeks of distance learning in the new term.

Meanwhile, UAE public school students in Grades 9 to 12 — referred to as
Cycle 3 pupils — will continue with distance learning "until further
notice".

The students were set to return to campuses on January 17, but the
Ministry of Education (MoE) has decided to postpone the resumption of in-class
lessons.

The decision was taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19, amid the spike
in new cases since the beginning of January.
