UAE: Private Schools to Reduce Class Times

A group of private schools in the northern emirates decided to reschedule classes, and the start and end of school hours, by reducing the class time by five minutes, to be 40 minutes instead of 45 minutes.

Accordingly, the start of school hours will be at 7:45 instead of 7:30, and the end of school hours will be from 2:25 instead of 2:45.

This happened as a result of school administrations receiving many comments from students’ families since the beginning of the current school year, related to the delay of their children in reaching home after school hours due to the long school hours, and traffic congestion on public roads, as a result of peak time due to employees leaving at the same time.

School administrations stated that the student’s arrival at their homes early gives teachers at all levels of education sufficient time to send homework and work papers early, and helps students complete them without delay.
