The “summer slide” refers to the decline in academic skills that many students experience during long school holidays, with studies showing children can lose 20–30% of their learning progress and up to 2.6 months of mathematics skills over a six-week break. UAE educators recommend preventing this through low-pressure, everyday learning activities such as reading books children enjoy, visiting museums, cooking, budgeting, engaging in outdoor activities, and developing life skills through volunteering or internships. Experts emphasize that summer should balance rest and learning, with short daily learning activities of 15–20 minutes helping maintain curiosity, confidence, and academic readiness without turning the holiday into an extension of the classroom.
