Schools across the UAE have once again shifted to distance learning until Friday, after the announcement was made this evening by the Ministry of Education (MoE).
The move comes after emergency alerts were issued to residents today amid heightened regional tensions.
The UAE’s emergency alert system was triggered five times within three and a half hours, as Iranian missiles were detected after a ceasefire in the US-Israel-Iran conflict came into effect on April 9.
