Classes Suspended on April 1st Due to Unstable Weather

Classes will be suspended across Egypt on Wednesday, April 1st, 2026, as unstable weather conditions affect multiple governorates with varying intensity.

The decision was issued by the Ministry of Education, which said the measure is intended to protect student safety and ensure equal conditions during the school day, particularly in areas where examinations are taking place.

According to data from the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, the country is experiencing a period of weather instability marked by rainfall of varying intensity alongside winds carrying sand and dust.

Authorities said the impact differs across regions, with some governorates facing heavy rain while others are affected by dust and reduced visibility, creating uneven conditions that could disrupt the school day.

The ministry said a unified suspension was applied nationwide to avoid disparities between students in different locations, particularly during exam periods.

Coordination with the meteorological authority will continue to assess conditions for Thursday, with a further decision on school operations expected based on updated forecasts.

Families and school staff have been advised to follow official updates as conditions develop.
