This came as the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) said school principals can take the call on temporarily shifting to remote learning in light of Covid-19 cases. Classes can go online for two school days if needed, the SPEA added.
Schools in the Emirate received students for in-person learning on Monday with strict Covid safety measures.
In Dubai, several schools went online as staff tested positive for Covid-19 or were close contacts.
Educational institutions in Abu Dhabi and Umm Al Quwain, and public schools will host classes remotely for at least two weeks as a Covid safety measure.
