Schools in Dubai are assessing the best possible ways to hold classes for the upcoming academic year.

They have been getting in touch with parents for their feedback on the preferred format for resuming lessons.

These surveys have options on a regular return to school, extension of distance learning or a blended model.

The results will be shared with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), which is closely monitoring the reopening policies.

The private education regulator has already said that schools can choose their own teaching model in consultation with parents, students and staff.
