Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Education is studying different options for private schools following a non-governmental curriculum, following the ministry's decision to delay the reopening of schools until after the Eid holidays.

Next week's meetings between the ministry and private schools administrations (following a non-governmental curriculum) will decide upon the regulations for these schools, to form a compromise for the delayed opening.

A source told Gulf News: "We will discuss this issue with all private schools that apply a non-governmental curriculum, taking into consideration both the schools' and students' interests."
