UAE Sends Condolences After Bangladesh Jet Crash Kills 27
The UAE has extended its heartfelt condolences to Bangladesh following a devastating military jet crash that killed at least 27 people — most of them schoolchildren — in Dhaka on Monday. The tragic incident unfolded when an F-7 BGI training aircraft belonging to the Bangladesh Air Force suffered a mechanical failure shortly after takeoff. Despite the pilot's attempts to divert the aircraft, it crashed into a two-storey school and college building on campus, leading to catastrophic casualties. Among the victims was the pilot, with 88 others rushed to the hospital for treatment. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE expressed its sincere sympathy to the families of the victims, the interim government, and the people of Bangladesh. The ministry also wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the crash. 'The UAE stands in solidarity with Bangladesh during this painful time,' the ministry noted, as the death toll continues to send shockwaves across the region. The tragedy has sparked grief nationwide and internationally, as the majority of those killed were children attending classes when the crash occurred. As Bangladesh continues emergency efforts and investigations into the crash, the global community — including the UAE — has voiced its support, calling for strength and healing for the families affected by the heartbreaking loss.

UAE: Some schools ban trolley bags for students; here's why
Several schools across the UAE are advising parents not to send their children with trolley bags for the upcoming academic year, citing health, safety, and practical concerns. Even as families are yet to begin their back-to-school shopping amid the summer break, some parents have received circulars urging them to reconsider their bag choices. Recommended For You Educators and healthcare professionals are urging parents to prioritise safety and smart habits over convenience or trends when choosing a school bag. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. This isn't the first time schools have addressed school bag concerns. In August last year, Abu Dhabi authorities reminded institutions that a student's backpack should not exceed 20 per cent of their body weight. Since then, a growing number of schools across the Emirates have moved to implement lighter bag policies and age-specific weight guidelines to minimise the physical strain on students. Safety before convenience At the heart of this shift is a focus on student wellbeing. 'The removal of trolley bags across Woodlem Schools is a student-centered initiative aimed primarily at safeguarding students' health and wellbeing," said Noufal Ahmed, managing director at Woodlem Education. He cited multiple issues with trolley bags, including physical strain from dragging them, tripping hazards on stairs, and excessive noise. "Trolley bags also contribute to congestion and clutter in classrooms, increasing the risk of tripping inside the classroom, too," he added. To ease the burden, Woodlem Schools are reinforcing their BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy and e-learning platforms to reduce reliance on heavy textbooks. With lockers available on campus, students are encouraged to bring only the essentials in lightweight, ergonomic backpacks. Meanwhile, Shining Star International School in Abu Dhabi takes a more age-specific approach. 'We recommend that students in Foundation Stage and Upper Primary use trolley bags, as their shoulders are still developing and carrying heavy loads could strain their spine and body. "For middle and senior school students, backpacks are more suitable. We advise students to pack their bags according to the timetable to keep the overall weight below eight for older students," she explained. Injury risks Healthcare experts across the UAE are backing schools' concerns, warning that trolley bags aren't as safe as many assume. 'While trolley bags may reduce direct pressure on the back, they are not necessarily safe. Tripping hazards are a major concern. Manoeuvring trolley bags in such settings can also lead to wrist and shoulder strain. In many cases, children end up carrying trolley bags up steps or over curbs, defeating the purpose and increasing injury risk," explained Dr Amr El Zawahry, Consultant Pediatrician at Medcare Royal Specialty Hospital. He emphasised that the solution lies not just in choosing the right type of ergonomically appropriate bag, but also in reducing what goes inside — by using lockers, digital textbooks, or lighter materials. Dr Maleeha Rafiq, consultant paediatrics at NMC Royal Hospital, added that poor usage of trolley bags could result in a range of musculoskeletal issues. She advises that parents and schools not only focus on the type of bag, but also on how it's used, how much it carries, and how it fits the child's daily school environment. 'Children often use them incorrectly, which can lead to uneven muscle strain, altered walking patterns, and even spinal misalignment,' she said. "Trolley bags can easily trip other students... and the larger size makes them harder to store neatly in classrooms or buses. Besides, the wheels can be noisy and disruptive, and the larger size of trolley bags makes them harder to store neatly in classrooms or buses," she added. nandini@ Nandini Sircar has a penchant for education, space, and women's narratives.
