Well, it IS a bit ambiguous MD - all the schools which were to RE-OPEN tomorrow are local schools..............
schools such as Doha College, Park House, ASD, Dess, etc re-opened at the beginning of the month, so are they therefore exempt from this ruling? It seems not, as of now, all (with the exception of ASD) are closed for another week. Only confirmed within the last few hours. It's a big problem for those kids who are sitting important exams - teaching days are thin on the ground as it is, what with the Eid holidays - compared with UK schools, so it's going to be a struggle for the kids to get enough hours in to cover all the coursework required.
Swine flu is everywhere and keeping the kids at home for another week is NOT going to change that. Methinks it's an over-reaction the the 'swine' thingie - any other flu and it would not be causing so much panic in the ME.
