UAE ministry dismisses viral first-term exam timetable as fake

The UAE Ministry of Education has dismissed a first-term examination timetable for the 2026–2027 academic year circulating on social media, clarifying that the document is unauthentic and has not been issued by the ministry.

The clarification comes after the purported schedule was widely shared across social media groups in recent days, prompting enquiries about its authenticity. The ministry said it had neither circulated an official examination timetable to schools nor published any such schedule through its authorised communication channels.

Responding to an enquiry about the document, the ministry categorically stated that the information was incorrect and did not originate from any official notice issued by it. It urged parents and students not to share unverified examination schedules or other education-related information, warning against relying on unofficial sources for updates that could create confusion.

The ministry advised the school community to follow only its official communication channels for accurate and confirmed information regarding examination dates and other academic arrangements. The clarification makes clear that students and parents should not treat the circulating timetable as an official examination schedule until the ministry issues a formal announcement.
