By ARN News Staff

The UAE Ministry of Education has postponed school bus operations for all public and private nurseries, kindergartens and schools as in-person learning resumes.

The ministry said it allows school bus operators enough time to put protocols in place to meet the safety standards set by the authorities.

These measures, the authority added, will be subject to weekly review.

The ministry added that any updates regarding the resumption of school bus services will be announced through its official channels.
