In a moment of excitement and anticipation commonly referred to as “فرحة البداية,” schools across the UAE opened their doors to students, welcoming them into the new academic year 2025-2026. With extensive preparations and well-structured organization, the educational institutions aimed to provide a safe and smooth environment for learning right from the first day.
Seamless Reopening at Educational Institutions
Yesterday morning, both public and private schools implementing the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum began receiving students at various educational levels. In the Al Siouh Educational Complex, Saida Al Hamadi, the director of the complex, shared that administrative staff, teachers, and security personnel had worked tirelessly in the days leading up to the opening. Their goal was to ensure a seamless arrival for students and their parents, with textbooks for the new year received and distributed immediately upon students entering their classrooms.
Organized Arrival for Everyone
Al Hamadi highlighted that the teams organized the entry and exit of students efficiently, ensuring a smooth flow of school buses to and from the complex. Additionally, coordination with local authorities further secured safe traffic around the school, reflecting the high preparedness of UAE schools as the academic year commenced. From the moment the doors opened, teams of teachers and administrators were positioned at various school entrances, welcoming students with broad smiles and a warm, familial atmosphere.
Creating a Welcoming Environment
One particularly heartwarming scene involved several teachers greeting younger students with handshakes and accompanying them to their classrooms. This gesture underscored the school’s commitment to fostering a close-knit community. The corridors came alive with the sounds of welcomes and directions, as staff guided new students to their classrooms, helping them adjust to the new environment quickly. Meanwhile, administrators reassured parents at the entrances, comforting them that their children were in safe hands.
A Celebration of New Beginnings
The blend of excitement and nervousness typical of the first day vividly illustrated the school’s dedication to making the return to classrooms feel like a celebration. This occasion brought together teachers, students, and parents, all sharing hopeful sentiments for the start of a new academic year. This initiative is part of a comprehensive plan set forth by the Ministry of Education to create an integrated educational environment with well-equipped facilities and the timely provision of textbooks and learning materials. This foundation ensures a strong beginning for the new academic year, which spans three terms totaling 178 school days.
