The Emirates Foundation for School Education has identified two scenarios for receiving students in government schools at the state level, with the start of the new school year, next Sunday, in order to enhance the safety of students, ensure the achievement of teaching and learning goals, and work on designing a school day that meets the academic and educational aspects.

This came in the school day design guide issued by the Foundation, which it recently published on its website, which clarified that the first scenario is the “ideal option”, which is the application of 100% realistic education, and allows the application of realistic education in the form of periods, and the second scenario is the application of The hybrid education system that is applied in the event of high student absorption capacity.

The guide allowed schools to receive their students according to the absorptive capacity, and within the requirements of social distancing and health and safety, while allowing the reception of students from buses or private cars, while obligating the students’ families to the type of education that was previously chosen, and in the event of a desire to change, a request for change is submitted to the school administration in The first week of each semester.

The guide specified the realistic school hours since the first week, as it aims to attend 50% of the first and second grades in the first cycle, and the fifth and sixth grades in the second cycle, and 9 and 10 in the third cycle, while students are fully organized in the second week with 100% attendance from the first grade. until the twelfth.

The Emirates Foundation for School Education reviewed the first scenario of education, so that it is realistic daily for students in the first, second, third and fourth grades, provided that the school building is appropriate, and human resources are available to implement precautionary measures for social distancing, and it is applied in schools that are classified within the green group This type of education, on To apply the various types of learning and assignment in the real lessons, and the working hours are from eight in the morning until 2:20 for the first and second grades and from 9:30 in the morning until 3:50 in the evening for the fourth and fifth grades.

School students are divided into two groups in the second scenario, which applies hybrid education, and the two groups take turns attending school over a period of two weeks, one week for each group. Students' levels are based on their previous results, diagnostic tests and behavioral conditions, while a permanent group determined by the school is allocated to students who must be received daily, and who need intensive academic support.

The Foundation classified schools into three categories: green, orange and red, provided that the school's classification in this category is approved by the school operations sector.

The guide specified the duration of the school day for the fifth and sixth grades at seven hours and 10 minutes, with the duration of the class being 45 minutes. The start and end of the school day is provided by the school, in coordination with the transportation company, and students are given 30-minute breaks, while leaving the option of distributing them to the school, provided that the duration of one break does not exceed 20 minutes, and the time and places for breaks are distributed between the school stages, in order to ensure that students’ gathering is reduced.

The guide sets the controls for students’ attendance in schools, provided that education is realistic from the beginning of the first semester, unless circumstances arise that impede the implementation of this, provided that the school is committed to organizing the school day in a way that achieves learning goals, and maintains the safety of the student while he is at the school headquarters, while Students comply with the school system, and the health and safety procedures that it adopts, while wearing the school uniform, and operating the camera in all approved types of learning, provided that all central exams and quizzes are realistically performed.
