The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) announced that it is changing the school working days all across Abu Dhabi.
The decision was taken after UAE slashed its official working week to four-and-a-half days and moving its weekend to Saturday and Sunday in a major shift aimed at improving competitiveness.
The ADEK said on Twitter, “Starting January 2022, Abu Dhabi Private & Charter Schools will follow the new working days schedule announced by the Government of Abu Dhabi.
School days: Monday - Thursday (Full day), Friday (Half day)
Weekends: Saturday — Sunday
Stay tuned for more details!”
