SCHOOLS IN UAE TO ADD MORE CLASSES

  • 01/03/2021

Parents and administrators have embraced the modifications created by education professionals to the minimum age for the entry of school students, but these bills haven’t arrived without anxieties for all stakeholders. The age terms will vary for new students registering in FS1, FS2, Year 1, and Year 2 (Pre-KG, KG1, and Grade 1 respectively), according to the UAE’s MoE, resolution no. (24). For schools that begin in September, this setting will be relevant from the start of the 2021/22 academic year in September 2021. The cut-off age for Pre-KG or Foundation Stage 1 should be 3 years by August 31, 2021, as upheld to the earlier deadline of December 31.


Dr. Allan Weston, Principal, Greenfield International School, said: “One of the most important components is getting accurate information out to our parent community. We have done this via social media and also by emailing our primary school parents who are most likely the ones to have younger children.”To accept the change, some schools will also combine a new class to these training years.
