Parents of students in private schools in Abu Dhabi complained about teachers’ interest in students studying in the attendance system, and their neglect of students studying at a distance.
They called for a full-time study to be resumed during the third semester, in the interest of their children's educational future, after their level significantly declined.
The Department of Education and Knowledge urged them to submit their observations to the school administration, noting the need for the school to remain in constant contact with the families of students who chose the distance education model, to ensure their support during this period.
She advised schools to offer students who chose the distance education model an opportunity to visit the school virtually, via the Internet, to feel a sense of belonging to it.
In detail, students’ parents confirmed that their children have not attended their schools fully since the emergence of the “Covid-19” virus, as they studied either in the “distance education” system, or in the rotation system for weeks, after the decisions to reopen schools, due to the spaces of social separation that I identified. The circle should be at least “one meter” between the student and the other, and their schools failed to achieve this condition, due to the limited spaces of the classrooms.
The students’ parents, Muhammad Nasser, Marwa Ayman, Heba Jamal and Umm Saif, said: “After the Emirate of Abu Dhabi eased the precautionary measures to enter the stage of recovery from the (Covid-19) pandemic, and raised the permissible capacity in commercial places and tourist destinations to 90%, it must be re-established. Considering the procedures for returning to full-time study, and excluding schools from the spacing meter requirement, noting the possibility of maintaining students’ safety through the continuation of mandatory periodic examination (PCR).
The students of Sahar Hafez, Maryam Shahat and Wael Salah also confirmed that they had observed a “remarkable decline” in their children’s educational levels, due to “distance education”, noting the teachers’ interest in students of face-to-face education, in return for their ignoring distance learners, and not involving them in classes, to increase their interaction, and ensuring that information reaches them.
Teachers and educators, Yasser Alawneh, Magda Mustafa, and Mervat Shukri, attributed the low level of students' achievement during the "distance education" week, compared to their achievement ability during the attendance week, to the fact that "some students are busy following the teacher, and sleep during the lesson."
In addition, “the student’s withdrawal from school makes him lose his sense of the importance and prestige of the educational system.”
The teachers pointed out that “distance education” achieved several positives, “most notably the continuation of the educational process, but the most prominent negatives of this system… the clear decline in the levels of a large number of students,” noting that “education is currently in some schools a hybrid,, Where the teacher is with some students in the class, and he has to follow a number of them through the computer camera, which distracts the teacher and makes each of the students feel the teacher’s interest in the other party.”
For its part, the Department of Education and Knowledge confirmed its keenness to develop policies that regulate the work of schools in a way that ensures that all students receive quality education, whether from students committed to classroom education or distance education.
She called on the students' families to communicate continuously with their children's schools, and to consult on observations regarding education and educational attainment, to ensure that they receive appropriate education services, noting that "in the event that there are still observations about the quality of education provided to students after coordination with the school, parents can communicate with the department." Through the hotline designated for them on the toll-free number 8002335, so that the concerned teams can follow up on the matter and consider appropriate solutions.
She explained that the "blue schools" initiative for Abu Dhabi schools is a clear roadmap to return to normal life, by providing customized privileges, according to student vaccination rates, and supporting schools to gradually ease procedures, and return to normal school operations, noting that the initiative allows schools that The vaccination rate of 85% or more of the total students achieved a number of privileges, including raising its capacity in the classrooms to 25 students in kindergarten, and 30 students in the first to 12th grades.
The department stressed, within the guidance of parents of students who follow their distance education, the need for the school to remain in constant contact with the families of students who chose the distance education model, to ensure their support during this period.
She advised schools to allow students who chose the distance education model the opportunity to visit their school via the Internet, to enhance their affiliation with it.
