In the UAE, some schools are implementing new schedules this academic year which include lessons lasting only 45 minutes each, shorter than the usual duration. Additionally, the start times of classes are changing compared to previous years.
Key Changes in School Timings
- On Fridays, classes will start early at 7:30 a.m. and finish by 11:45 a.m.
- The school day on Fridays will comprise four short lessons.
- There will be a total of 24 lessons per week under the new system.
Reasons for the Changes
These adjustments are designed to:
- Enhance the learning environment.
- Better meet students’ needs by breaking the day into shorter lessons.
- Allow students to focus more during class and have rest periods in between.
- Establish a balanced weekly timetable, especially with the early Friday schedule.
What Parents and Students Should Know
Parents and students are advised to check with their schools for specific timings and lesson plans as these may vary. The changes might require adjustments in:
- Daily routines.
- Transportation arrangements.
This initiative is part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to improve education, focusing on student wellbeing and academic performance. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for the latest updates.
