UAE Schools Announce Two Optional Home Revision Days Before Final Exams

A 15-point parental guidance pack aims to boost focused study, protect student wellbeing, and ensure technical readiness with campuses kept open for students who need supervised support.

Overview

  • School administrations told parents that attendance will not be required on Monday and Tuesday, June 22–23, to allow organised home revision and self-directed study while supervised on-site support remains available for students who choose to attend.
  • Final exams for grades 5–12 are scheduled to run from June 24 to July 3, and schools described the two optional days as a way to help students enter that exam window more calmly and prepared.
  • Schools issued an integrated 15-point guidance for parents that emphasizes making a clear daily revision schedule, limiting threats or pressure, giving regular study breaks, and enforcing adequate sleep and breakfast on exam days.
  • The advisory includes practical technical checks for electronic assessments, such as charging laptops, confirming required software is installed, and reducing phone and TV distractions in study areas.
  • Officials said the measures reflect routine end-of-year practices designed to accommodate different student needs, reduce last-minute stress, and cut the risk of technical problems during mixed paper and electronic testing.
