Seventy per cent of federal employees in the UAE will work remotely on Fridays during Ramadan.

This comes following the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

He also approved remote learning for students in government schools and universities on Fridays, during the holy month.
