DUBAI: The Abu Dhabi Department of Education has released a new set of guidelines when schools reopen on January 3, including limiting classroom capacity to just 15 students.

"The maximum number of students per class is 15 with social distancing at 1.5 meters and mandatory masks for Grade 1 and above... The maximum of 15 only applies to areas where the students are socially distancing and wearing masks,“ local daily Khaleej Times has reported, quoting the education department.

The return to campus covers all levels, the education authority said, but schools will be subject to strict precautionary measures to avoid an outbreak.

Schools in Abu Dhabi had started receiving students in campus on Aug. 30 in phases.
