The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has advised private schools, nurseries, and universities in Dubai to provide distance learning options like online classes to students on Monday, February 12th, since the weather is expected to remain unpredictable. The authority promotes institutions to embrace flexible learning approaches considering the needs of parents, staff, and students.
In regards to fluctuating weather conditions in the country, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has carried out meetings. An earlier alert was issued this week concerning varying weather events from Sunday to Tuesday, such as rain, lightning, thunder and maybe hail.
