Public and private schools will be implementing a new timetable in the UAE, following the sweeping changes in the country’s working week starting from 2022.
The UAE recently announced that federal government workers will be working from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm on Monday to Thursday, and until 12:00 pm on Fridays.

Pupils are expected to attend a similar timetable from Monday to Thursday, but Friday schedules as well as the official school timings for 2022, are yet to be confirmed as of this report.
The new rules state that federal government workers will enjoy flexi hours at work, and that they also have the option to work from home every Friday.
UAE government states that the changes in the longer weekend for the public sector will help to “boost productivity and improve work-life balance”.
