Masks no longer needed in UAE schools

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

"We are fully aligned with the UAE government's plans to ease mask wearing in indoor settings, and support the idea of optional mask wearing in school. While we hope this means we are now entering the post-COVID era, we recommend our students and parents decide whether or not they wish to continue wearing masks themselves. We will also be taking a sensitive approach to mask removal - and considering how this might impact our students' mental health. As always, the health and welfare of our school community is paramount. But it will be wonderful to see our staff and students' smiles again, and embrace more natural, open communication where possible," said Ruth Burke, CEO and Principal of Swiss International School Dubai.

The Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai (SISD), Dubai’s first bilingual International Baccalaureate School, opened in 2015, and is the largest Swiss school outside Switzerland.

The school is a leading international day and boarding school where future generations are inspired to become confident and enthusiastic lifelong learners,
