The UAE Ministry of Education has announced the postponement of school bus operations for all public and private nurseries, kindergartens, and schools across the UAE during the current phase, as part of the operational arrangements accompanying the resumption of in-person learning.

“This will allow completion of operational readiness in coordination with relevant entities, including transport authorities and municipalities, to ensure service readiness in accordance with the highest safety standards,” the ministry said.

“This step comes as part of ongoing coordination to ensure the smooth operation of school transport services in line with safety requirements and operational arrangements across all emirates,” the statement added.

The measure will be subject to weekly review in coordination with the relevant authorities, and any updates regarding the resumption of school bus services will be announced through the official approved channels.
