Yesterday, the schools in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, returned to the distance education system, as a precautionary measure that coincided with the escalation of the conflicts between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi group in Yemen.
Agence France-Presse reported on Monday that parents received letters from their children's schools informing them of the suspension of private lessons as of Tuesday, November 10, provided that the measure includes students and educational and administrative staff, without specifying a date for the resumption of classes.
The decision comes against the background of the escalation of Houthi attacks on Saudi territory, as the coalition announced on Tuesday, the interception of two missiles aimed at Riyadh and another missile towards the south of the kingdom, along with a drone in the eastern region. Schools in the capital switched to distance learning last October, following a bloody attack on King Khalid International Airport.
