The Emirates Foundation for School Education has developed two options for the daily study system for kindergarten students, after implementing the federal government's decision to specify the weekly holiday for two and a half days, which will be implemented starting from the beginning of next January.

In the guide to determining the hours of the kindergarten school day, the Foundation clarified that the two options presented are, first, the quota system, so that the duration of each lesson is 45 minutes, and secondly, the hours system, according to specific considerations commensurate with the school, stressing the need to maintain the number of weekly study hours as they are 26 hours for this stage, because it is linked to the curricula and student learning outcomes.

The Foundation pointed out that the school schedule has been modified due to the change in Friday, so that work ends on this day at 12 noon, explaining that the students’ working hours start from Monday to Thursday from eight in the morning until one in the afternoon, and on Friday it starts from eight in the morning until eleven A.m.

The guide mentioned six general determinants of the kindergarten stage, firstly, the application of integrated learning integrated between the study subjects at a rate of 26 weekly hours, and secondly, the total working hours for teachers 34 and a half hours during the week (adjustable according to the decision of the new daily working hours), and thirdly, the total working hours of the staff Administrative 36 and a half hours during the week.

Fourth, coordination with the authorities concerned with providing school transportation to take into account the common lines with schools, and fifth, allocating the end of the school day after students leave, for the purposes of planning, periodic meetings and internal workshops, and finally providing selected videos and additional activities in support of the lesson in the approved educational platforms.

The guide mentioned the necessity of activating the morning meeting for students and saluting the flag, with allocating a period of rest for students, explaining the rules of work on the school day, including receiving students from half past seven, then the educational program begins at eight o’clock in the morning until one thirty in the afternoon, from Monday to Thursday. On Friday, work ends at twelve noon, and the study plan in the kindergarten stage will be an integrated school day, with plans to implement school activities to achieve developmental outcomes collaboratively among the teachers of the same level, with the participation of teachers of Arabic and English to achieve complementarity and the expected level of quality.

On the other hand, the Foundation stressed the commitment to the specified number of weekly hours due to its relevance to the curricula and student learning outcomes, for the first cycle 35 hours, and 40 hours for the second and third cycles, calling on school administrations to work on determining the optimal model for implementing the teaching plan, either through classes or hours, And taking into account all the considerations required for each model, and one of the steps that I touched upon in the guide is to distribute the shares of materials on the new schedule, so that it conforms to the model specified for the school, taking into account the important considerations according to the chosen model, and sharing transportation to organize the starting and ending hours, and working to hold introductory meetings with parents Students about the new academic schedule with the preparation, distribution and publication of the schedule to the students of the same school.

The Foundation called for amending the timing of the daily school schedule due to the change on Friday, provided that it ends at 12 noon, while preventing the option of the regular 45-minute class system or the 60-minute hour system, according to specific considerations commensurate with schools.

Study tables design

The Emirates Foundation for School Education reported that the guidelines were designed to help school administrations design effective study schedules according to the seminar in harmony with the approved school plan, and in line with the government's decision to change the days of the weekly vacation and working hours, taking into account the important guidelines in preparation. So that the school principal can choose the optimal model for his school after communicating with partners, such as transportation to organize the common lines between schools.
