Ramadan 2025: Dubai announces remote learning for private schools on Fridays

In line with the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, and as part of a commitment to strengthening family bonds during the Holy Month of Ramadan, private school students in the emirate will have the option of remote learning on Fridays throughout Ramadan.

Students with mandatory in-person examinations on Fridays are exempt from this arrangement.

Additionally, schools are encouraged to accommodate families for whom remote learning may not be suitable by allowing students to attend classes in person if needed.

It follows news earlier this week that public schools in the city will provide the option of remote learning on Fridays during the Holy Month.

To promote family unity and the spiritual significance of Ramadan, the Ministry of Education has dedicated Fridays during the Holy Month to activities that reinforce familial bonds, instil core Ramadan values, and advance students’ key skills.
