The UAE has been reporting a spike in cases for past few days.
Many schools in Dubai are conducting their internal assessments online because of the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak.
The decision appears to be taken because the UAE has been reporting over 3,000 Covid-19 cases over the past few days.
Several schools have been offering a blended learning approach.
Many pupils, who are attending schools in Dubai since the winter break got over on January 3, will be appearing for the examinations online.
Mohammad Ali Kottakkulam, principal of Gulf Indian High School, weighed in on the move.

Students are ideally supposed to be in school for at least some days before they sit for their board exams.
CBSE-affiliated Dubai schools have hailed the recent decision to hold the board exams from May 4. Educationists, experts, teachers and principals are happy that the schedule would provide schools with adequate time to practice and prepare.
Putting an end to the anxiety of students, their parents and teachers, India’s Education Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal on Thursday announced that the CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams will be held from May 4 to June 10.
