Most of the private schools have begun to teach classes “online”, and are waiting for zero hour for the Ministry of Education to announce the start of urban education, to decide whether or not to adopt this form of education. However, the implementation of urban education in the current circumstances will only be possible through simulation, according to the principal of Al-Kawthar High School, Rana Ismail.
The Al-Mabarrat Charitable Association had chosen the secondary school as a place for gradual experimental enrollment in the classrooms before the official start of the school year to test the situation and the ability to continue the experiment, “especially that Kindergarten students from infants and basic education will face a great crisis to adapt to distance education “, according to Ismail.
But it was not a week until the secondary school collided with the infection of the first teacher, the French section, with the Corona virus, which last Friday unleashed panic among parents and some were hesitant to send their children back to the school. However, Ismail spoke of “cordoning off the incident and the transparency that the administration followed. We did not break the news, but personally informed the parents of the injury. We took the students home and asked for another teacher for the class and one of the workers after close contacts were considered, according to the definition contained in the health protocol that the school follows, which mixes between various protocols applied in countries of the world “. According to Ismail, this protocol allows taking the maximum preventive measures, since no group of students mixes with groups from other classes.
Yesterday between 70% and 90% of the classes that started face-to-face education returned, according to Ismail estimates, which indicated that the school had created classes in outdoor spaces in which students spend at least one or two classes, since they are safer than closed rooms.
And on what the Al-Mabarat Association will do if it is officially decided to start online education, he stated: “We will organize a protest movement towards the Ministry of Education, since the situation is not likely to lose a second school year, and we will adopt coeducation, one day of classroom instruction and one day of education through the electronic platform “. She indicated that the rest of the Association’s schools organized meetings of acquaintances of attendance for the students and their families who attended for an hour in order to know the measures taken in urban education.
