Dubai schools can offer remote learning on Monday, March 11 if they were damaged by heavy rain over the weekend, says the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
Unstable weather and heavy rain caused flooding, damage and disruption across the city on Saturday, with people advised to stay inside and traffic delays observed.
In the event of the rain having caused damage to school buildings or property, education authorities said private schools, nurseries and universities may offer more flexible education patterns.
