GEMS schools are preparing to reopen their school campuses across the UAE in September at the beginning of the new academic year, its group chief officer Dino Varkey confirmed on Wednesday.

"We spend a lot of time working with our regulators and the authorities who have been a tremendous source of support as we look to try and bring back our schools in September, so that we're ready to welcome our parents and students who, through all of this crisis, have demonstrated an incredible resilience,“ said Varkey.

Dubai's school regulator, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), recently issued a 100-plus set of health and safety guidelines for the re-opening of private schools across Dubai in September this year.
