All government school students will begin their studies from Sunday through the distance learning system.
In a statement, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education said students from the first to the third grade will use the MS Teams programme, while students from grades four to twelve use the Learning Management System (LMS). These systems provide enables the teacher to interact and communicate with both the student and the parent through conversations (chatting).
In this context, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education has prepared educational content for these levels by photographing and producing videos for daily lessons and focuses on providing the student with the concepts and values of these lessons, which will be available on electronic links via the digital platforms provided by the ministry.
It emphasised the importance of the partnership between the parents and the school in this regard, and in the context of ensuring the safety of students, a number of useful advice on the practice of distance learning was provided to them.
The ministry also prepared illustrative files and videos detailing how to log in and log out on distance learning platforms for students and their parents.
With regard to distance learning for people with disabilities, the ministry has provided educational materials that meet the needs of this group of students, according to the level and type of disability.
On the other hand, it directed the specialised schools to choose the best teachers for the specialised subjects in each school and instruct them to provide illustrated lessons for theoretical materials and practical workshops and raise them on the learning management system at the school website, and send text messages to parents notifying them to start broadcast the lessons.
