Dubai Culture Launches ‘Close to You' Initiative to Empower People of Determination
This effort is part of Dubai Culture's commitment to social responsibility and aligns with the Dubai Government's 'My Community... A City for Everyone' initiative, which aims to make the city fully inclusive and accessible for People of Determination.
As a first step, the Authority held the inaugural annual meeting of its People of Determination Council at Al Safa Art & Design Library. Department heads, employees of determination, and their families gathered to foster open dialogue and engagement. Participants shared innovative ideas and practical solutions to expand accessibility measures and discussed how to bring them to life. The session also examined ways Dubai Culture can further build a more welcoming work environment that reflects the aspirations and needs of its diverse team.
Dubai Culture earned ten Autism-Friendly Certifications (AFC) from the Dubai Autism Center. These recognitions underscore the Authority's success in delivering on all aspects of an inclusive space: staff preparedness, facility adaptations, and tailored services for People of Determination.

UAE 2025-2026 academic calendar: What students, parents, educators need to know
[Editor's Note: This article is part of Khaleej Times' Schools and Parents, a dedicated section designed to support families in the UAE as they explore educational choices. The section offers explainers, guidance from education leaders, expert advice and insights from parents to help readers make informed decisions about schools, curricula and communities.] The UAE Ministry of Education has unveiled the official academic calendar for the 2025-2026 school year, covering all public and private schools across the country. The calendar aims to broadly provide a unified, well-structured academic year to benefit students, parents, and educators alike. However, flexibility is always provided to schools based on examination schedules. Notably, in the UAE, particularly in Dubai — schools are required to complete a minimum of 182 instructional days each academic year. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) has also introduced a new academic calendar for all public and private higher education institutions (HEIs), effective from the 2025-2026 academic year. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Here's a quick breakdown of the key dates and changes affecting both schools and universities. 1. Update on Schools What are the key dates for schools? School year start: August 25, 2025 School year end: July 3, 2026 (July 2 in Sharjah) When will students have term breaks and holidays? Winter break: December 8, 2025, to January 4, 2026 Spring break: March 16 to March 29, 2026 (Sharjah private schools resume earlier on March 23) Mid-Term Breaks for Government Curriculum Schools Term 1: October 13-19, 2025, schools resume on October 20, 2025 Term 2: February 11-15, 2026, schools resume on February 16, 2026 Term 3: May 25-31, 2026, schools resume on June 1 (aligned with Eid Al Adha holidays) When do the terms begin for international curricula schools? The first term will end on December 5, 2025 with schools resuming for the second term on January, 5 2026. The second term then begins on January 5, 2026 through March 15, 2026, followed by a spring break. The third term starts on March 30, 2026 and ends on July 3, 2026, except in Sharjah, where it ends on July 2, 2026. What does it mean for Indian curriculum schools? Schools are required to generally adhere to the unified start and end dates. However, they have the flexibility to set specific start dates to align with international board exams such as Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) exams. Indian curriculum schools typically begin their academic year in April and end it in March. These schools may also adjust holiday dates, provided they remain within the designated semester timeline. What kind of modifications are allowed? Private schools following other curricula are allowed to schedule two mid-term breaks — one in October and another in February — each lasting no more than five consecutive days. These breaks must occur within the specified months and cannot be extended or shifted, ensuring they align with the national academic framework while allowing some flexibility for individual school operations. Will there be longer winter breaks this year? The first term will conclude with a four-week winter break instead of the previous three-week break. This year, the winter holidays will run from December 8, 2025, to January 4, 2026, with schools reopening on January 5, 2026. The longer break provides students with ample time to rest after a demanding term and participate in national and community events. What is the purpose of implementing the unified calendar? This unified academic calendar provides consistency across all emirates and school types, helping families and schools plan better throughout the year. The spread-out breaks aim to reduce stress for students and staff, allowing time to recharge. It also helps align the school schedule with important cultural and community events in the UAE. Parents and educators are encouraged to mark these dates to ensure smooth transitions between terms and holidays in the coming academic year. What has the ministry mandated regarding final assessments and attendance at the end of each school term? The ministry has mandated that all schools adhere to the approved academic calendar, which includes conducting final assessments or completing curriculum objectives during the final week of each term to ensure full student attendance until the last day. However, this requirement does not apply to grades with pre-scheduled international exams. The ministry also stressed that private schools following the national curriculum must comply with the centralised examination schedule used by public schools. 2. Update on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research's (MoHESR) updated structure for all public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) also brings significant changes to end-of-term holidays, aiming to establish a more flexible and uniform academic calendar across UAE HEIs. In line with the 'Year of Community' goals, it seeks to promote family unity and provide students with a well-balanced schedule of study and rest periods. Here's a brief overview of the important dates and updates impacting the universities. When will the university academic year begin and end under the new structure in the UAE? The university academic year will begin on 25 August 2025 and end on 3 July 2026. This unified schedule is mandatory for all UAE-based higher education institutions, except for international universities that follow calendars from their home countries. What are the designated holiday periods for universities in the 2025–2026 academic year? The winter break will run from 8 December 2025 to 4 January 2026, with classes resuming on 5 January. The spring break will be from 16 to 29 March 2026, with classes resuming on 30 March. Institutions are permitted to shift these breaks by up to one week earlier or later, provided the duration remains the same. Is there any flexibility in implementing the unified academic calendar for universities? While universities must follow the unified start and end dates, they are allowed flexibility in setting specific start dates to accommodate academic programmes or specialisations. They can also adjust holiday dates by up to one week and modify the end date based on the summer semester timeline.

Madonna Urges Pope Leo to Visit Gaza 'Before It's Too Late'
Global pop superstar Madonna has publicly appealed to Pope Leo to travel to Gaza on a humanitarian mission, urging him to help Palestinian children facing starvation as the war nears its second year. Posting on Instagram Monday, the singer—who was raised Roman Catholic—wrote: 'Most Holy Father. Please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry.' Madonna stressed her belief that 'politics cannot affect change' but 'consciousness can,' adding that her request coincided with her son Rocco's birthday. 'The best gift I could give him is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire in Gaza,' she said. Pope's stance on Gaza conflict Since his papacy began in May, Pope Leo has been outspoken in his criticism of Israel's military campaign in Gaza, repeatedly calling for the protection of civilians. In July, he said: 'I am following with great concern the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the civilian population is suffering from severe hunger and remains exposed to violence and death.' The pontiff has urged an immediate ceasefire, echoing calls from global humanitarian agencies. Mounting child death toll According to UNICEF, more than 18,000 children have been killed in Gaza since October 2023—an average of 28 deaths per day. An Israeli blockade on aid has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to describe the situation as 'man-made mass starvation.' The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports that at least 222 people, including 101 children, have died from malnutrition since the war began. 'This is no longer a looming hunger crisis – this is starvation, pure and simple,' said Ramesh Rajasingham, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), at a UN Security Council meeting on Sunday. Madonna: 'Not pointing fingers' Madonna emphasized that her appeal was humanitarian, not political: 'I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides. Everyone is suffering. Including the mothers of the hostages. I pray that they are released as well.' WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus thanked the singer for her 'compassion, solidarity and commitment to care for everyone caught in the Gaza crisis, especially the children.' Uncertain access for pope It is unclear whether Israel's government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would permit Pope Leo to enter Gaza. In a rare exception last July, two church leaders were allowed in after Israel struck Gaza's sole Catholic church, killing three people and wounding others. The church had been sheltering members of Gaza's small Christian community. Since then, the starvation crisis has worsened, with haunting images of severely malnourished children drawing global alarm. Madonna closed her appeal with a final plea: 'We need the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no more time. Please say you will go.' The singer's call underscores a growing wave of condemnation of the 22-month war and its devastating humanitarian toll, straining Israel's relations with some of its closest allies.
