As children across the UAE return to school after a two-month summer break, emotions run high with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Parents were seen giving tearful goodbyes, tightly hugging their children before they entered their schools for the academic year 2025-26.
School Preparations and Student Experiences
Schools have implemented staggered entry times to assist new students in settling in comfortably. Many pupils happily exchanged stories of their holidays even as they felt the pressure of imminent exams. The unified academic calendar across the country aims to provide standardized schooling schedules for all.
Support from Leadership and Community Efforts
The UAE President congratulated students on their first day back and encouraged families to maintain strong cooperation with schools to ensure quality education. Meanwhile, journalists and Dubai Police worked together to monitor traffic and coordinate volunteer activities, ensuring a safe and smooth reopening of schools.
Additional Considerations
- Experts have advised parents about online safety, particularly concerning games like Roblox, highlighting that the primary risk lies in contact from unknown individuals.
- Petrol prices are currently under review following a drop in oil prices announced by Opec+, which may influence consumer costs.
The first day has been a heartwarming mix of tearful farewells and joyful smiles, creating lasting memories for students and families across the UAE.
