The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been ahead of the curve during the pandemic. The Shutting down educational establishments has been a key strategy in preventing the spread of Coronavirus.

Other countries that failed to react as quickly are suffering as the virus spreads rapidly and aggressively.
Online classrooms are the new normal
The world may be in quarantine and global economies may be grinding to a halt, but education must continue. Students are finding themselves taking their classes from the safety of their own homes. Online classes allow teachers and professors to interact with their students without any risk of viral infection.
Due to high levels of investment in technology infrastructure by the UAE, there has been little disruption to online services. The infrastructure is more than capable of supporting students and their educational needs.
But for some, there’s a silver lining in this change of pace. In educational institutions across the UAE, there have been certain professionals who’ve played with the concept of online classes for years. Now they finally have the chance to prove the value of these platforms and the educational benefits that they possess.
