Parents in Abu Dhabi are being urged to voice their views over plans to reopen schools in September by the emirate's education regulator.



Abu Dhabi's Department of Education and Knowledge is calling for parents to help shape the direction of learning in the Covid-19 age.



They are to be surveyed on pressing issues such as whether they want to send their children back to school full-time, for four hours daily, on alternate days or weeks, or continue distance learning.

On Monday, UAE education authorities announced they were laying the groundwork for a possible return to classrooms this September.
