Ministry relaxes school activities
The schools of the UAE have completed preparations to welcome the students on Sunday for the 2015-2016 session. The Ministry of Education called the schools’ administrations to take necessary steps towards the academic year.
The ministry asked the schools to cancel the morning assembly for students keeping in mind the current weather. They were asked to follow the instruction for the first two weeks, starting Sunday. They also suggested changes in the class plan.
The new school day plan will consist of eight classes for the preparatory and secondary stages, while it will be seven for the primary stage. The number of classes will be seven a day for all stages on Thursdays.
The ministry further added that the class period would be reduced from 50 minutes to 45 minutes. The five-minute-break between classes will continue.
