Holiday announced for schools in the UAE this week
Some schools will get two days off…
The Ministry of Education has announced that all schools across the UAE will receive a public holiday on Tuesday February 5.
The announcement, which was put out on Twitter, went on to further state that public schools in Dubai and Sharjah will be given a holiday on Monday, February 4.
Some private schools will also be closed, reports Gulf Business, although it is best to check directly with your child’s school if they will be off on Monday.
