Private schools across Dubai to follow new working week

Private schools across Dubai will transition to the new working week, the emirate’s education regulator Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has said.

Private schools will follow revised timings as a result of the recently updated working hours for public sector employees across the country.

The private education sector in Dubai will be open in line with the recent UAE Government decision on the working week. We’ll be working closely with our community to ensure a smooth transition. https://t.co/5hGL1WQz3b
