The weather in the UAE has changed. It rained on Tuesday evening. But what I like most is that the UAE was quick to issue an advisory to stay at home on Tuesday and Wednesday.

All the government departments were asked to go on remote mode while schools also were told to shift to remote learning. This was indeed a very good step. All the schools shifted to remote learning mode in no time.

Children stayed at home to avoid traffic congestion and at the same time they attended their schools. I am extremely happy to see children attending classes online. The remote learning option has given a great opportunity to students not to miss classes. I also appreciate schools for quickly shifting to the online mode of learning. They deserve praise.
