Dubai: It’s been raining holidays for schools here in UAE as streets gush with waters and roads become difficult to navigate.
###
Just this week, January 11, saw the closure of classes as more as cloud-seeding darkened the skies and drenched the roads.
###
In order to keep up with academic work and to ensure the smooth transition of knowledge, some institutions have decided to compensate for the early holiday – by working over the weekend.
###
DPS Dubai is one such school, where teachers and students all the way from grade 1 to 12 will be coming in, to stay on syllabi track.
###
Meanwhile, some schools, including Al-Mizhar American Academy and GEMS Wellington International School, are introducing virtual spaces where children can engage in online learning or clarification of topics they may have missed during the week.
