UAE: New rules introduced for public school buses

The UAE Public school administrations have devised and disseminated new school bus policies to children and their families. In the new academic year (2022-2023), a one-minute wait period for the bus driver in front of a student's house has been introduced. The memo further advised parents to leave school bags in front of the house to let the driver and the supervisor know if the child would attend class. Institutions have urged parents to work with the administration and the bus company to ensure children abide by bus security and safety regulations. Children should always wear seatbelts, not walk when the bus is in motion, or stand on the seats. Students should refrain from shouting and making annoying noises, maintain the cleanliness of the bus and its furniture, not tamper with the contents, and respect the bus driver. Students are also not allowed to speak to the driver. They must not take their hands or heads out of the bus's windows. Parents must also arrange for someone to pick up their children, especially those in cycle 1 when the bus brings them home after school. The bus driver or supervisor must be notified if a parent picks up the child from school. The rules also prohibit the guardian from entering the school bus for any reason. They must contact the school administration if they want to raise a complaint against the driver or supervisor. School administrations said they were adhering to measures issued by the Emirates Schools Establishment to school transport service providers and their workers to safely return pupils for physical learning for the new academic year.
