Director of Private Education at the

Private schools
that teach national curricula, on the other hand, will be penalized if they
return to in-person teaching before February 20, as decided by the Ministry of
Education, said Alwan.
Schools teaching
international programs must comply with the safety regulations imposed by the
ministries of education and health, such as suspending classes that have 10
percent COVID-19 infections and suspending infected students from five to ten
days.
The Ministry of
Education postponed the start of the second semester until February 20 in order
to help stop the spread of infections and ensure the safety of students,
educational staff and school workers, especially in view of the rapid spread of
the Omicron variant.
In previous
statements, the ministry had asserted keenness on having students return to
school during the second semester of the current academic year, declaring
Saturdays a school day and extending the term until mid-June to compensate for
the lost days.
Twelfth graders are excluded from the ministry regulations;
they resume school on February 1.
