The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has announced all schools, including all grades, will continue e-learning for a further three weeks, from 17 January.

The committee said the decision was a precautionary measure to limit the spread of Covid-19, and in the interest of protecting the health and safety of the schooling community.

The committee urged parents, guardians and the academic and administrative staff in both public and private schools to vaccinate against Covid-19, to protect themselves against the virus and help develop comprehensive protection for the wider community, which will accelerate the safe return to schools.
