Bhangra dances, teachers in costumes: How Dubai schools welcomed students on Day 1 of 100% on-site learning

Yellow school buses took over Dubai’s roads on Sunday morning, as students returned to full in-person learning.

Some schools went out of their way to make returning students feel comfortable. Not only did they put up banners and streamers, one school welcomed kids back with a Bhangra dance, a traditional Indian folk dance.

“We went all out cranking up the beat….making a big bang with dhols, dance and pompoms to welcome our students and teachers back to the campus. We wanted students and teachers to feel at ease; have fun on their first day back; and stay thrilled about coming to campus every day,” said Punit MK Vasu, CEO of The Indian High Group of Schools.

“Music is something which everyone relates to and we wanted this welcome to set the tone for our students to have a blast throughout the school year. We promise to bring learning to life for each of our students at this vibrant learning community nestled within The Indian International School, DSO.”
