Education experts have welcomed the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) decision to delay the age at which children start school across the UAE, saying that it is in line with the age cut-off dates used by schools internationally.
“This will have immense benefits for students and families’ social and emotional wellbeing, as well as academic attainment,” says Dubai-based educational psychologist Dr Diksha Laugani. “It also brings the UAE in line with a lot of other countries.”
A child must now be three years old to be enrolled in FS1 (or pre-KG), and four years old to be enrolled in FS2 (KG1) at the start of the academic year, according to an announcement on the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA)’s social media on 23 February 2021, following a resolution made by the Ministry of Education in January 2021.

It is freezing out.
And while you might be tempted to spend most of winter season indoors, here is what I have to say to you (that I have had repeated to me all through my Norwegian childhood and upbringing): There is no such thing as bad weather. You are just wearing the wrong clothes.
In fact, if you were to visit Norway (or Scandinavia in general) in the autumn or winter, I bet you would quickly notice how much time children there spend outdoors – no matter what the weather.

As a parent, what we all wish for most of all, apart from our children being healthy, is for them to be happy.
And when it comes to happiness, apparently, few have it figured out quite like the Danes, with research consistently showing that residents of Denmark are among the happiest in the world.
To these Nordic parents, teaching children the concept of
empathy is extremely important, and the belief is that the ability to recognize another’s emotions will make for better relations, deeper connections to each other and ultimately, people and communities that are happier than if the focus was more inward and on the individual.
