The Ministry of Education has postponed the return to study until July 18 for preparatory and secondary certificate students and September 5 for primary year students.

The Ministry added that these dates were set following a meeting of officials in the Ministry of Education, headed by the acting Minister of Education Mohamed Amari Zayed, nullifying a previous announcement made on May 14, indicating a gradual return would begin on June 13 for preparatory and secondary students.

This new timeframe was decided with the health and welfare of all students in mind, as the country faces the challenges of halting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
