On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, the UAE Ministry of Education officially approved the schedules for the first-term exams for grades 3 to 12 in government schools and private schools that follow the Ministry’s curriculum.

The schedule includes a break for National Day celebrations, and final tasks and projects for Group B subjects must be submitted between November 20 and 26.
