Based on the decision issued by the Council of Ministers, the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) recently issued a special circular regarding the balance between job requirements for working mothers in the federal government, and follow up the educational process of their children on the other hand, during the new academic year.
The Authority confirmed that the Federal Government decided to regulate the issue by allowing mothers who are employed in the Federal Government to work remotely, for those mothers who pursue the education of their children in distance learning, and those in the primary school from the sixth grade and below, or those who have children of determination. This is in accordance with the Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2020, regarding remote Work System in the Federal Government.
The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources stated that this government approach achieves a balance between work requirements which aims to continue providing government services and upgrading them, in addition to supporting families in dealing with the requirements of distance education for their children in light of the (Covid-19) pandemic. This contributes to supporting the educational process, in fulfillment of the aspirations of the wise leadership of the United Arab Emirates.
