2/28/25, 9:29 AM Dubai relaxes work system in Ramadan for govt employees
The policy mandates that employees should coordinate with their direct managers to ensure smooth
operations and maintain productivity, ensuring no disruption to daily tasks in the interest of public
service.

This initiative is part of Dubai’s ongoing commitment to creating the best possible work environment
for government employees, enhancing their comfort, and motivating them to increase productivity.

Additionally, the policy encourages the private sector to adopt similar measures during Ramadan that
are tailored to the specific needs of businesses and ensure the seamless continuity of their
operations.

REMOTE CLASSES ON FRIDAYS: Separately, the Ministry of Education has announced the
introduction of a new initiative, entitled “Ramadan with the Family.”

The objective of this initiative is to enhance the distance learning experience during the Holy Month of
Ramadan for students enrolled in public schools. According to the initiative’s guidelines, each Friday
during the month of Ramadan is to be designated as a day for distance learning, with the exception
of students whose exam schedules have been approved during Fridays during the Holy Month.

The Ministry’s objective is to cultivate a distinctive Ramadan atmosphere, whilst also fostering the
bond between students and their families by engaging parents in student activities. This endeavour is
facilitated through a disseminated guide comprising a selection of activities that permit students and
their families to partake in collective educational and pedagogical events.

The initiative aims to activate the atmosphere of the month of Ramadan within Emirati families
through activities that combine education and entertainment, and help build a warm educational
environment that encourages creativity and continuous learning.
