With assessments lined up for some UAE students after the October half-term break, school leaders are urging parents to help children return to classrooms prepared, rested and ready to demonstrate what they have learnt.
For pupils in senior year groups, the break may offer an opportunity to revise, while younger students will need time to settle back into their school routines.
For schools following the UAE’s unified academic calendar, the first-semester mid-term break began on October 12 and runs until October 16, with students returning on October 19. While some schools have assessments planned soon after the holidays, the schedule varies depending on the school, year group and curriculum.
Assessments, attendance and routines remain important
