UAE schools to end classes early on Fridays following new prayer timing

From January 9, schools across the UAE will end classes earlier on Fridays to align with the new 12.45pm Friday prayer time. The change affects students from kindergarten to grade 12, including public and private schools. Staggered schedules and possible online lessons aim to ensure curriculum requirements are met while giving families time for school pick-up and prayer.
