Public schools across the UAE have initiated a strategic approach to support students as they prepare for the upcoming Term 1 centralised examinations. Following the conclusion of National Day celebrations last Friday, schools have shifted their focus entirely to academic readiness. A revised schedule has been introduced, featuring shortened school hours from Monday to Wednesday, with classes ending no later than 1.20pm. This adjustment aims to provide students with ample time to rest before engaging in evening review sessions. On Wednesday, schools will transition to remote learning, offering virtual review classes through official online platforms. Attendance will be recorded, and parents have been informed of the updated schedules to ensure students participate actively. The Ministry of Education’s Tamkeen Digital Initiative plays a pivotal role in this preparation phase. This program offers high-quality, intensive review sessions led by teachers from both government and private schools. Virtual sessions, running from 5pm to 8.30pm, have attracted thousands of students nationwide. Students can access these sessions through links shared by their schools and even attend review classes offered by other institutions, allowing them to benefit from a diverse pool of educators and flexible timings. The concerted efforts of schools and teachers underscore their commitment to ensuring students are well-prepared and positioned for strong academic performance in the upcoming exams.
