The UAE moves to remote learning following regional tensions
Against the backdrop of the tangible security escalation in the Middle East and the Iranian attacks, the authorities of the United Arab Emirates announced a change in the country's education system. Starting tomorrow, Monday, May 4, 2026, until this coming Friday, classes will be held in a remote learning format.
News from the Field on Telegram reported on the decision without mentioning the overt reasons for the change, while Kan 11 | Arab-Palestinian Desk – a channel that often presents a critical line toward Israel and government policy – directly linked the measure to the attempt to cope with the "escalation and Iranian attacks" in the region.
The decision, which goes into effect on May 4, 2026, reflects the high level of alertness among the Gulf states in light of unusual security developments that have affected the local daily routine in the country.
