Saudi Arabia’s Education Ministry has announced that in-person schooling will return in Riyadh after weeks of remote learning, AFP said. The move to remote classes followed an earlier wave of strikes.
A headline from Ajel also identifies Diriyah as covered by the ministry’s return announcement.
The announcement sets out a return to classrooms, but AFP’s report does not specify when teaching will resume or how many pupils are affected.
An earlier extension kept students, teachers and administrative staff in Riyadh and Diriyah learning or working remotely through 22 October 2026. Remote schooling later continued through 5 November 2026 in those two areas as well as Jeddah and Rabigh.
During the period through 5 November, public schools used the ministry’s Madrasati platform for lessons, while private and international schools could use their own approved systems. Pupils could follow their scheduled classes without going to school premises.
