Dubai pupils having to adapt back to the classroom after 18 months away – The National

Ensuring pupils are reacquainted with the classroom and helping them catch up on academic gaps were the biggest educational challenges in the past month, the heads of UAE schools have said.

Hundreds of thousands of Dubai’s private school pupils walked back into classrooms on October 3 after the emirate brought an end to distance learning for most.

Teachers found children had fallen behind in social skills as well as studies and have spent the past month trying to get them back to speed.
